American WTA ace Coco Gauff‘s good defending skills are not just limited to the tennis court. The 20-year-old very well understands how to defend herself against social media trolls. In fact, Gauff knows how to hit the balls thrown by her trolls out of the park, as she showed after her title win at the China Open.

Gauff first took a dig at her critics who targeted her for not winning the big titles. After the World No. 6 clinched her second WTA 1000 title in Beijing, she shared a story on Instagram where she flexed her trophy and took jibes at her trolls.
