UN Human Rights Office Condemns Racist Abuse Targeting Gauff
United Nations Human Rights office has condemned online racist abuse faced by Coco Gauff after a replayed point sparked a backlash against the American tennis player this week. Gauff was targeted after stopping play during a crucial point in her win over Sun Xinran at the China Open, raising her hand to complain about a flickering advertising board as Sun was about to hit a winner. Women's tennis governing body WTA responded to the incident, saying they were appalled by the racist abuse directed at Gauff, and are in contact with her to offer full support.
