Coco Gauff preparing to tackle her fourth-round opponent at the French Open, her coach, Brad Gilbert was shocked by an off-court experience. While visiting a different country comes with a variety of novel culinary experiences, can serving raw chicken be excused? Gilbert says no.
The coach was craving a cozy dinner after Gauff, who is aiming for her second Grand Slam victory, advanced to the French Open quarterfinals. To guarantee her place in the final eight, the American defeated Elisabetta Cocciaretto with a commanding 6-1, 6-2 victory in the fourth round. After this victory, Gilbert, together with his daughter Zoe, decided to have dinner at his hotel for the first time. And that’s when things went wrong.In a follow-up tweet, the coach mentioned that he tipped the waitress 125 euros because he felt bad about her plight. “Very strange to say the least and packed on a Sunday, completely under staffed total misplay by us should have left,” he wrote.
