Coco Gauff Blasts ‘Impossible’ WTA Scheduling Rule After China Open Win

After edging Belinda Bencic to reach Beijing’s quarterfinals, Gauff criticized WTA’s mandatory scheduling. “On a business point it makes sense… but on a player health standpoint, I don’t really agree,” she said of required four Grand Slam, 10 WTA 1000, and six WTA 500 events appearance. She called for a shorter season, adding, “It does some of the 500s a disservice.”
