"I don’t know when to shut up": Coco Gauff apologises to Australian Open after giving too much information during hilarious on-court interview

America’s young tennis star Coco Gauff had to apologise to the Australian Open crowd after giving ‘too much information’ in her on-court interview. The 20-year-old, who is already regarded as one of the best players in the world in women’s tennis in the singles category along with the likes of Belarus’ Aryna Sabalenka and Poland’s Iga Swiatek, secured her place in the round of 16 after beating Canada’s Leylah Fernandez in straight sets with a score of 6-4, 6-2.

Talking after the match, Gauff had an interesting interview where she had to apologise to the Australian Open crowd after admitting that she gave too much information and that she has no idea ‘when to shut up’. Those comments came after she was asked whether the design of her outfit matched the comfort as well. She stated that she would never compromise on her comfort as that remains the number one priority.

“Yes. It’s definitely comfortable,” she said. “A lot of people were wondering how I use the bathroom in it, so I posted a video on my Instagram story… not like actually demonstrating! Just… No, that’s TMI! Sorry guys! I don’t know when to shut up. The designers at New Balance are absolutely incredible. We put together all the ideas that I want and they make a design out of it. I promise you I’m not playing in anything uncomfortable because comfort is always No. 1.”
