Coco Gauff arrived at the Dubai WTA and, from there, she was chatting with the media. Thus, questions regarding the case of her teammate Elena Rybakina and her coach Stefano Vukov, suspended by the WTA for abuses against his player, could not be missing."As far as I know, I know she doesn't like the decision. I know the WTA also has the right to protect her, and I think I will stay out of it. But, in general, I think it's good that the WTA ensures the protection of the players. I know they have things in the bathrooms for us to report things anonymously, all those meetings and things. Definitely, I feel protected by them. But as the person involved doesn't agree with the decision, I don't want to talk about it".
Thus, the American avoided talking much further beyond the case of her teammate but wanted to reflect on how some victims of harassment are not aware of it until later. Thus, she would not hesitate to anonymously report any anomaly she saw on the circuit:"I haven't seen anything crazy, but obviously, I hear stories on tour. I can't report anything I don't see, but obviously, if I see something, you can do things anonymously, so. I think that's important in our sport because many times victims don't even know they are. In this sport, it has happened many times. Many times, former players are seen speaking about the treatment they received years after retiring".
