America’s two-time Grand Slam winner Coco Gauff recently revealed that she has an interesting way to shut down her critics on social media, playing what the modern generation terms as the ‘Uno reverse card’ against trolls.
Speaking at the ongoing Canadian Open about how she deals with online critics, the current World No. 4 said: “I’ll just block it [negative comments], if it’s something I don’t like. Sometimes I will respond to some people or troll people. I also do like to — like whenever somebody comments something mean — I might just comment back like an emoji, like a smiley face or something. I feel like that riles people up.”
