Coco Gauff tells tennis umpire he “sounds like a cartoon character”

Tennis star Coco Gauff stormed into the second round of the National Bank Open with a 6-1, 6-3 victory over fellow American Madison Brengle.

The 18-year-old will now face Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina as she prepares for the US Open.

Gauff was in high spirits following her victory against Brengle, even giving the career advice to the chair umpire.

As she shook Jesse Greene’s hand, she told him: “Your voice sounds like a TV announcer”.

The star then went to wave at the crowd, before continuing her hilarious conversation with the official.

“You should be a voice actor,” Gauff said. “I’m serious. For extra money on the side.

“You sound like a cartoon character—in a good way. You have the most satisfying voice.”

Greene appeared to take the career advice well, laughing as he started to get down from his chair.
