Good for her!! I’m glad she spoke up!!
@@basketballman1854I think it’s because the ump was so blatantly favoring Siegemund and Coco called it out
you cann see simualr situation between Kyrgius and Nadal ( for example Acapulco on match point) and empire gave Nadal right
@@basketballman1854Elaborate why.
@@basketballman1854because you're racist?
@@basketballman1854 yeah, it's a racist.
S L O W. Great Clap Back. Simple and to the point
Haha that was brilliant
Is that a behind the scenes slang term among tennis players??
@@toukdee no the opponent was slow and would serve after her time limit with no penalty
Coco is absolutely right. Her opponent was cheating - and in the interview she tried to weaponise tears, but we all SAW what happened!
That should be the last time that umpire ever judges a match,she was totally biased.Good for her for standing up for herself.
Yasss Coco. I’m so proud of you. Stand up against wrong doings no matter how small. Rooting for you victory.
I'm going to say something here, and I don't care who it offends. I'm not black, but tennis and golf are the last two sports that have their racist ways about them. Why? Because they're both country club sports for one thing. Black people Don't really have access to tennis courts and golf courses, but white people do, and for the longest time white players were on the top in those sports until tiger woods, and the Williams sisters came along and ended that white reign, golf has pretty much stopped the racism, but in tennis it will show its ugly face every now and then, and let's be honest we all know why that ref was missing calls that would have benefited the black player, it's not just the serves, coco had to tell ths ref that laura wasn't allowed to sit in-between sets. Just complete disregard for the rules.
You are a full fledged racist.
How is this person you replied to racist? It was quite obvious that the German opponent was cheating. In both cases of sitting between sets and the referee not addressing that matter. And the German opponent was taking too long to return to the serving line when Coco was prepared to serve. Just admit you hate black Americans and leave it at that. I fully understand your hate. Tonight, before I go to bed, I will light a candle and burn some incense in your honor. I will sing a hymn and pray deeply for your misbegotten soul. Have a nice day.@@fatherson5907
Glad you peeped it too. 😉
She's a helluva athlete and she was RIGHT. Do better, umps.
you cann see simualr situation between Kyrgius and Nadal ( for example Acapulco on match point) and empire gave Nadal right
Coco is always fair and that Umpire needed to be prompted into doing her job.
Yep, the umpire allowed the situation to continue, until she was forced to deal with it.
She has to stand up- no one else is.
What do you mean no one else is? Players constantly argue with the umpire over time wasting opponents
You forgot to add that BLM!
totally agree!! I didn't think of it, sorry@@water112000
eye roll
they and the media are desperate to make this into some kind of social justice issue@@user-gu1un7pb7k
And now she just won the US Open 🙇🏽♂️🔥🔥🔥
They used to do the same thing to the Williams sisters.
THE U.S OPEN TRIED TO TAKE IT FROM A BLACK GIRL AND SHE STILL WON. 😂😂😂😂
She has so much heart.
I ❤ Her Attitude, Response & Above All Her Sportsmanship ❤❤❤
At the end she was like SLOW lmmfao 😂😂🤣😂😂 love her.
Freaking awesome
This was so frustrating to watch. Glad she ends up winning the US Open ❤
Slow!!!! Yes girl. Rub it in ...that was ridiculous 😊
RULES apply to ALL!
it's not a rule
@@jkscoutyes it it 💀
@@jkscout Whats a shot clock again or is it a play clock?
that's a rule, but the one that a player has to play at a server's "reasonable" pace is just etiquette. It's not a hard and fast rule, and is very subjective.@@seanmccartney5177
Love Coco! Tell them like it is.
On point coco....always say how u feel...u will always be great
Spot on. She’s not speeding through points, so it’s absolute on the receiver to be ready for the serve. The chair ump should have been on this far sooner and her facial expression suggests she knows it.
Way to speak up for yourself!
Equal playing field for all! Keep winning Coco! Cheaters will always use loopholes and privilege.
like Serena Williams
@jkscout ur an angry white person😂
@@jkscoutElaborate.
@@adey126 Steroids
@@ronmastrio2798 Proof? Bc that was Maria.
Can we do something about this in every sport please? It's getting out of control.
Do what in other sports? Time violation? MLB has placed a pitcher timer, NFL has an offense timer, soccer penalizes time violation.
More like stop employing whi folks in positions of power.
Well done 👏👏👏
😂😂 good job Coco!! Like I say na oyinbo dey scam pass!! No forget say dis na admiralty law😂
The cheater lost and SLOW!🙄 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 Once a cheater, always a cheater!
She's amazing
🎉Go Coco!🎉
Love it!!!
Her competitor was cheating. Plain and simple.
Love Coco
Well done
thanks for the video
This is great
I wonder if they fired the ref bc man oh man she messed up big time.
Why are people only blasting the umpire. That cheating player should be called out too.
Umpire is being paid to do their job that they were refusing to do and should be upholding the rules. Of course the cheater weaponized her tears and tried to play victim so they didn’t get as much backlash. If the umpire was doing their job the cheater would’ve been getting more backlash.
Future number 1
No
not likely
RACIST much???
lol@@marcusgraham5084
@@jkscout How about US open champ?
👏🏾
Classy young lady
💞🦾COCO WILL ALWAY BE THE BEST TOP PLAYER
Willfully creating a disadvantage for someone to hinder their success, is how modern discrimination works. Coco’s experience is a great example of this type nuanced discrimination.
So the same as the old fashioned discrimination then
Anyone who is willing to do that to their own face, should never be in any position of authority 😢
Well said Coco!!! How come they did not characterize you as being defensive?! Or maybe they did?!? If so, I wouldn't be surprised!
Interviewer: Describe what it was like to play it? Gauff: slooow. 😂😂😂😂😂 🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇
Replace human umpires
Great idea. How about we replace human judges and jurries then, too?
@@jkscout so a tennis game where the umpire just has to keep score, is the same complexity as a case involving human lives ?
Actually, I think you may be right about human umpires, I think the umpire was unfair and biased against Coco just because Coco used several racial slurs to describe her opponent.
@@leahs.1480 Not finding any "racist slurs" by Coco (her exact words pasted at the end of my post) - if I am missing something, could you backup your assertion by clarifying? Coco's exact words: “She’s never ready when I’m serving, she went over to talk like four times, you only gave her a time violation once, how is this fair? No, you’re calling the score after the point is over, it’s not like we’re playing long points. You’re calling the score like six seconds after the point is over!”
"Karen"@@TheSachingm
Go Coco!!! Plastic face tried it.
новая звезда
The fact that her opponent says nothing at all and never even tried to correct the umpire clearly states that both of them are in cahoots...shame on them...
All that botox blocking the umpire's sight.
😂
If you can't keep up with the pace-of-play to the point where you need to cheat and break rules to rest... maybe it's time to retire 🤷♀
SLOW, that's so shady😅
Fan favourite
😂 she's brilliant!!!
Even the channel knows what's the best thumbnail irrespective of the story.
She's a black athlete this is not going to be the only time she goes through this guaranteed
🤡
This happens all the time in black America. In and outside the sports arena. This is the world of black Americans in this white supremacist society we call America. You have a nice day.
She is fast though.
Now I get it
Number 6 FEMALE.... Tennis player in the world. Don't purposefully lie. Just stay the facts. Good for her
Man she tried that in big city.........no chairs needed
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ya ya that color like to argue then rob
You mean white ppl right.
Prejudice
Who
What a dis Wonderful
Rich or poor, black is black. Even Oprah with all of her money, still have her share of negative racial experiences in this world. But, with money and riches it's much easier to deal with everything.
🤡
Bruh where’s that quote from AOC about republicans during the 2020 election? “They had everything stacked in their favor and still lost!” Lmao.
If you know anything about the electoral college and gerrymandering, yes Republicans already have a huge and extreme advantage from the get-go, thats why more than 8million more voters voted for Democrats and still was a close race of 40k voters in swingstates, the liberal majority has to be overwhelming to beat the conservative minority due to ancient undemocratic rules.
@@vanessamaldonado5877 ok, but democrats love to gerrymandering too. You just complain about it when you lose.
@@dewaldt8104 Except only Democrats have proposed legislation to institute non-partisan district redrawings and some blue states in fact have already instituted non-partisan districting, that is not the case in Republican states, thats why conservatives win despite being a minority of a minority, if there were fair districts, Democrats would have permanent control of the house and senate.
@@vanessamaldonado5877 can you give an example? Also the reason why liberals lose is because they are crazy. Majority of Americans aren't interested in the stuff liberals promote, yet liberals keep promoting them and when they lose they cry cheat.
How did they have everything stacked in their favor? Liberals control every institution in the country including the media and big tech. Republicans have everything stacked against them.
Racism
Always the excuse.
Lol wut... time violations are like the most common disputes in tennis, especially since the shot clock has been introduced. Are you just saying racism because Coco happens to be black? I wonder how she feels being objectified based on her race like that
Towards Laura! Agree.
@@user-gu1un7pb7k i mean, it does look like a white player got preferential treatment, i'm sure that upset her much more than her being what you consider to be "objectified". how exactly is it objectification to NOTICE when there is a discrepancy in treatment?
@@sebcw1204 You obviously don't watch tennis. Time wasting is ambiguous for umpires and it's hard to tell if the player is doing it deliberately or if it's just their routine. That's why there are always these types of arguments in tennis among so many players, regardless of their race lmao Also I love how you can apparently read Coco's mind "i'm sure that upset her much more" because Laura is white. Stop projecting, babe.
Slow 🤣🤣anyone who saw the game should know better 😜
🗨AMEN
There is too much artificial product in that umpire's face.
Lil a. P.
😂😂😂😂 SLOW!
I notice Coco has been cheating too.
You notice Coco cheating. That's strange. Nobody else in the world saw Coco cheat. Or is it you hate black Americans. Hey! Just admit you hate black Americans and leave it at that. I fully understand your hate. Tonight, before I go to bed. I will light a candle and burn some incense in your honor. I will sing a hymn and pray deeply for your misbegotten soul. You have a nice day.
She shoulda been disqualified for this Serena-Esque tantrum!!
Is the umpire just biased or racism involved?
You are beyond brainwashed. Follow sinead, kid.
Both.
@@adey126 you run away like a scared rat whenever your silly lies are debunked, liar
None of the two. You never watch tennis
@@secondchannel1523 How can you say none of the two when watching this match and the opponent clearly violated the time clock multiple times and umpire said nothing.
Ew
I am American, Spectators are American, Commentators are American. What are the chances Coco Gauff was at fault :-)
I don't know any other sport where the women do less work ( win 2 of possible 3 sets) and demand equal pay as the men who must win 3 of possible 5 sets. Absolutely criminal fools who permit this. Equal pay means equal work means equal play. There's no equality until this happens.
Ironically, where the men and women do play the same sets (on regular tour tournaments) they often don't receive equal prize money.
@user-gu1un7pb7k Interesting! However, equal pay means equal work means equal play and equal rules to work by.
@@user-gu1un7pb7k Ironically they still want equal pay for the slams because it's a bigger payout. You don't honestly believe their grift do you?
@@ronmastrio2798 Well I think they want equal pay across all tournaments, not necessarily just slams. But I don't think the quality of women's tennis really justifies equal pay, let alone the reduced crowd turnout. The WTA are currently having to dig out of their own pockets to give equal pay to their players because the tournaments don't do it as the ticket sales don't justify it. It's a bit insane really, especially when you consider the players winning these tournaments are already very wealthy compared to the lower ranked players. Why the WTA isn't spending money on those who need it is beyond me.
@user-gu1un7pb7k Exactly!! A similar situation is with the WNBA. In any case, big kids playing ball games ⚾️ 🏈 🏀 ⚽️ getting millions upon millions of dollars per year isn't right either. When honest, hardworking grown men are risking their lives every single day performing highly dangerous jobs like tree work, high voltage electric work, building our bridges, buildings, bridges, highways, railways and driving bus loads of kids back and forth etc. and barely making enough money to survive.
Americans are always RIGHT. Also, helps when you are black.
Was the other opponent not in the wrong for stretching her time did coco lie about anything
no one would know who Coco was if she wasn't
Lol, exactly! Americans are absolutely God's gift to the universe and never have erred or harmed a soul. 🤣
Coco the goat🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅🦅🦅😻😻😻
@levara6504 nope, there are 3 right now, Steffi, Margaret & Serena 🇩🇪🇭🇲🇺🇲
That's a dude
Tbf, Coco is a bit rash. She started celebrating early in her doubles, thinking they'd won, even though there were still games left to be played. And the umpire had already given her opponent a warning in this match. I wonder how much time Coco allowed between the warning and her outburst??
🤡🤡🤡
@@W4TSKY - if you don't have a response, just say so, or even better, don't say anything, instead of posting emojis like you're on TikTok live.

@@W4TSKY - clown has no response. Yeah, spending so much time on TikTok will decrease your vocabulary and ability to articulate yourself.
@@jackaljadeWell, here's my articulation jackalnapes. You're wrong and loud about it. Take several seats.
Um the audience was captured ideologically a long time ago and was always team "she's never won a grand slam but she's black so she's famous"
RACIST much???
Angry yt ppl ☠️
The Germans are coming out … the racism with them is strong, but remember YOU WERE DEFEATED !! 🤡🤡
what's racist is the media lifting up one player's accomplishments over the accomplishments of other American players simply because of the player's race. There are plenty of other more accomplished American players people should know about@@marcusgraham5084
@@marcusgraham5084it’s the truth. And coco is the racist
Seeing a loud belligerent black women is not a novelty, finding someone like Simone Biles is.
When was she loud?
She got special treatment because of her privilege,just like Serena and Venus always have.
About 30 mins into the match there was a concern that Sigmund was having a medical episode, and the umpire gave her some leeway after a play since a doctor was evaluating her. She was deemed healthy enough to continue. But when it come to the unfairness, I think Coco Gauff did that to herself when she said to the umpire a little later in the game. "Ya’ll must be really afraid of me if you only let me play against a broken-down white B*****." Let just say thing when downhill from there. The US open actually posted the entire match on their KZhead page if you want to go take a look for yourself.
It must bother you so much that a black woman won, Sigmund medical episode If true, does not equal all the rules she broke. Get away with your short story,
@@PatriciaPageMosaicArtsCrafts I guess you don’t understand so let me make my explanation even shorter, just because Gauff was being racist doesn’t mean the umpire should let her opponent get away with breaking the rules.
@@leahs.1480 So what was the point of your novel? Smh transparent af.
I watched the match. Siegemund’s gamesmanship was poor and the crowd let her have it. I was glad she cried in the press conference. She is no victim. Imagine the ref let’s you get away with cheating multiple times and you think you’re the victim 😂😂😂
@@leahs.1480no she wasn't being racist and the white crowd agreed....
I would have tossed Coco Gauff, these people think they have privilege!
Who is these ppl?

I hate this player already, another diva just like Serena.
Hate if you must. She won fair and square😜
Cocoa crying, again... Back to therapy... 🥱
Next time you play a game I hope your opponent cheats and you can’t do anything about it
