Coco Gauff's run at the Australian Open ended in the quarterfinals on Tuesday as she bowed out against Elina Svitolina in straight sets. The American, who was seeded third entering the tournament and had aspirations of capturing her third major, took out her frustrations on a racket after exiting the court, hoping that she'd found somewhere private to show that emotion not monitored by cameras.
But there are precious few pieces of real estate at Rod Laver Arena that offer that type of shield, so Gauff's racket-smashing was captured and then dutifully broadcast.
