Coco Gauff says Australian Open did not apologise over racket-smash incident

• Gauff was filmed letting off steam in private area

• French Open champion begins defence with 6-4, 6-0 win

Coco Gauff said she did not receive an apology or response from the Australian Open after she was broadcast letting off steam by breaking a racket in a private area after her quarter-final loss in January.

“I mean, I didn’t get anything from my email that I know of,” Gauff said, smiling. “I know that WTA sent something, but obviously they’re different from the grand slams, just them wanting to reiterate and that they are going to talk to the slams about different private areas and things like that.”
