Coco Gauff was left in tears after a frightening accident at the US Open that saw her physiotherapist, Maria Vago, narrowly miss a fierce return strike on her face. Gauff faced Iva Jovic in the fourth round at the US Open.
Despite a shaky start, where she dropped the first game on a double fault, Gauff clinched the first set 6-1. With long rallies, including a 24-shot rally in the second set, the American tennis player prevailed over Jovic 6-1, 6-4. During one of the instances in the match, the American returned the ball so hard that it landed in the stands, where her team was sitting.
