Roland-Garros'A little bit in shock' — Gauff beats Trevisan to set up final with Swiatek3 HOURS AGO Last week, 19 children and two teachers were shot dead in a school in Texas, the latest mass shooting in the country, and Evert spoke about Gauff's sensitivity and awareness around this huge issue.

»That’s the number one issue today in America, the gun violence, so many horrific things have happened as a result, especially to children, and I think she [Gauff] is very sensitive to this," Evert said. «She is very aware of this and she has evolved as a young woman who is just aware of everything around her, not just in her own little bubble, and she is not self-absorbed thinking about herself all the time. »But, when she is on the court, she can compartmentalise, and that is the most important thing — for that hour-and-a-half or two in her life — is how she does on the tennis court.

«But when she is off of it, she is really a normal young lady. She’s just wonderful, I can’t say enough wonderful superlatives about her.» ‘Peace. End gun violence’ – Gauff makes plea on camera after Trevisan win 'She's screaming' — Gauff complains about Trevisan grunting
