'Emotional' Coco Gauff smashes racket in frustration after Australian Open lossMELBOURNE, Australia -- Coco Gauff smashed her racket into the concrete floor once for every time she dropped serve, and another one for good measure, after her Australian Open quarterfinal loss to Elina Svitolina on Tuesday. The third-seeded Gauff, a two-time major winner, struggled with her serve and recorded five double-faults in the first set, when she was broken four times. So, the seven times she pounded her racket into a concrete ramp were far from a private moment following her 6-1, 6-2 defeat. Gauff hit just three clean winners across 15 games, made 26 unforced errors and won 2 of 11 points on her second serve. Gauff said she felt it was better to shatter a racket than to take out any frustrations on her support team.
