'It's Draining': Coco Gauff Steps Away After Racist Abuse | First Sports With Rupha Ramani

Description: Coco Gauff has stepped away from the Wuhan Open after a difficult few days that saw her face racist abuse online following the China Open controversy, before struggling physically in her loss to Elise Mertens. At just 22, Gauff is already a Grand Slam champion and the highest-paid female athlete in the world, yet the scrutiny around her continues to come with a much darker side. Rupha Ramani looks at Gauff's difficult week, the problem of abuse against women tennis players and the pressure of being one of the biggest young stars in sport.
