Coco Gauff’s support team accused of ‘mind games’ by Belinda Bencic

Coco Gauff’s team were accused of mind games in a testy exchange between the defending champion and opponent Belinda Bencic at the China Open.

Former Olympic gold medallist Bencic was unhappy with what she claimed was noise being made by Gauff’s support camp during her service games.

When Gauff interjected while Bencic vented her frustration to the umpire, the Swiss snapped back: “No one’s talking to you. Your team is chatting. I’m too old for these mind games.”
