American tennis star Coco Gauff took to Instagram to laugh at a clip of one of her rallies in a second-round match at the San Diego Open, in which she suffered a fall in the middle of a point.
The 18-year-old came up against Bianca Andreescu in the second round of the San Diego Open where she managed to secure a two-sets-to-one victory over the Canadian. The 2022 Roland Garros finalist saw the funny side of the video and took to social media to share it with her fans.
"Lol the fall bruh. Quarterfinals TOMORROW!" Gauff wrote.
The American has had an impressive start to the tournament, defeating compatriot Robin Montgomery in the opening round before edging off Andreescu.

The teenager has had an up-and-down season this year, with no titles to show for her troubles. Her win-loss record reads 34/17, which translates to a win percentage of 66%.
With that being said, Gauff has managed to reach her highest WTA ranking yet as she moved up to No. 8 following an impressive Roland Garros campaign. The young star fell agonizingly short of her maiden Grand Slam title, losing to Iga Swiatek in the final.
However, the World No. 8 will have an opportunity to exact revenge as she faces Swiatek in the quarterfinals of the San Diego Open on Saturday.
