"I didn't see a tennis match. I saw the third day of something that started on Monday."
Coco Gauff is out of the China Open: 6-3, 6-3 to Elise Mertens, with eight double faults, two days after the replayed point against Sun Xinran and everything that followed. In this monologue, Serena Williams explains what those 48 hours do to a player, and why she knows.

That kind of thing doesn’t usually happen, yet the umpire didn’t say a word—it was a very strange occurrence that happened only during Coco’s match. It’s scary.
Maybe it's time for her parents to be back in her corner. At 22, Coco shouldn't have to carry this weight alone. Emotional support isn't a weakness. It's part of what sustains a champion.
Think back to when you were 22. Did any of us really know what to do in situations like this?
