Her antics even got under the commentator’s skin!
COCO CLOCK Coco Gauff’s opponent called out for ‘annoying’ actions in Wuhan quarter-finals as American overtakes Serena Williams
COCO GAUFF’S opponent was called out for her “annoying” tactics as the American overtook the Williams sisters with victory.
Gauff, 21, is in action at the WTA 1000 event in Wuhan, China.
And she booked her place in the semi-finals by beating Laura Siegemund 6-3 6-0.
But despite the one-sided scoreline, the match lasted one hour 25 minutes.
And that was largely due to the German’s winding-up time-wasting antics – which has riled up plenty of tennis stars over the years.
This time, it got under the skin of Sky Sports commentator Colin Fleming
He said: “She does have her own pace of play, doesn’t she?
“Very close to an hour on the match clock here, and we have only played a 6-3 set.
“That includes the long break after the set, she takes her time between points, and already had a time violation.
“Even things like a number of times she has thrown the ball up for the serve and let the toss drop and then bounced the ball a few more times.
It’s not breaking a rule doing that but I raise it because I want to give Gauff credit for how calm and focused she has stayed and is continuing to be in this set.
“It can be annoying to play against.”
Gauff kept her composure, though, to progress safely through to a 12th WTA 1000 semi-final before turning 22.
Both Serena and Venus Williams managed the feat 11 times – while only Maria Sharapova (15) and Martina Hingis (33) have done it more than the reigning French Open champion since 1990 when the format was introduced.
Gauff then booked her spot in the final by beating Jasmine Paolini 6-4 6-3, after the Italian had thumped Iga Swiatek in the previous round.

“BREAKING NEWS: NFL icon Patrick Mahomes just delivered a powerful message that left some of the world’s richest and most influential people stunned — and then he backed up his words with action. READ MORE: At a lavish black-tie gala in Manhattan, surrounded by billionaires, crystal chandeliers, and egos large enough to fill a stadium, Mahomes took the stage to accept a Global Impact Award — but instead of giving the polite, scripted speech everyone expected, the Chiefs quarterback spoke from the heart. He didn’t praise sponsors. He didn’t talk about fame. He didn’t thank “the usual names.” Instead, he looked out at a room filled with the world’s wealthiest — including Mark Zuckerberg and several Wall Street titans — and said: “If you’re blessed, you have a duty to bless others. No one should build an empire while kids don’t have a place to sleep. If you hold more than you need, then someone out there is going without.” The entire room froze. Eyewitnesses say Zuckerberg and the tech billionaires sat stiff, not clapping, not smiling — just stunned silence as Patrick’s words rang through the hall. Of course they didn’t clap. The truth rarely comforts those who benefit from the way things are. Because Mahomes wasn’t talking about envy — he was talking about responsibility, character, and humanity. And he didn’t stop at words. That same night, Patrick Mahomes announced a $10 million donation through his “15 and the Mahomies Foundation” to build youth centers, sports facilities, medical clinics, and safe housing in struggling communities across Kansas City, Tyler (Texas), and underserved neighborhoods throughout the Midwest and South. He didn’t brag. He didn’t pose. He simply acted — proving that leadership isn’t something you say… it’s something you do. Mahomes’ message was clear, timeless, and deeply human: “Greatness isn’t measured by what you earn — it’s measured by what you give.” While billionaires chase luxury, status, and applause, Patrick Mahomes reminded the world that true greatness comes from lifting others, not just yourself. In a world obsessed with wealth and power, Patrick did what he always does — stepped up when it mattered most. Patrick Mahomes didn’t just speak tonight. He made the world stop and listen.”
“🔥Just 15 minutes ago: NFL icon Travis Kelce has finally broken his silence with a fiery message defending his quarterback, Patrick Mahomes: “What he’s dealing with is a disgrace to the game — a complete betrayal of what football is supposed to represent. How can people be so harsh on a guy who gives everything he has, every single snap? Mahomes is carrying this team with heart, toughness and leadership. To me, he’s one of the greatest players to ever wear a Chiefs uniform.” 👉Read the full story now:
