Coco Gauff, the American tennis sensation, continues to inspire on and off the court. She is now asking people all around the world to consider taking a CPR class after disclosing her recent certification during the Mubadala Citi DC Open. With her heart set on inspiring people to learn life-saving skills, the 19-year-old athlete underlined the importance of CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) training and how it only takes 90 minutes to potentially save a life.

Gauff discussed the pivotal moment during the match when a fan became ill in a candid post-match interview following her triumph over Belinda Bencic. “I just took a CPR class, so if they needed me to jump in, I was ready,” she explained. “I’ve received my certification.” Her speech quickly shifted the focus away from her tennis accomplishments and toward the significance of being prepared for catastrophes.

Coco Gauff, an American tennis prodigy, stunned fans at the Mubadala Citi DC Open on Friday night, storming into the semi-finals with a 6-1, 6-2 victory over Bencic. The 19-year-old’s dominant performance on the court cemented her place as a top contender in the event and demonstrated her tremendous potential.

The teenager was serious about business from the start. The No. 3 seed applied constant pressure on her opponent’s serve, taking advantage of every opportunity to break Bencic’s serve six times during the match. Bencic was kept on the back foot by her strategic genius and fast reflexes, preventing her from finding her groove and attempting a comeback.

Gauff commanded play from the baseline with her on-court poise and precision, frequently executing strong shots and displaying her characteristic agility. The No. 6 seed, Belinda Bencic, fought courageously, but the sheer intensity of Gauff’s assault left her baffled.
