Coco Gauff shares perfect response to suggestion she ‘blocks everybody’ on social media

Coco Gauff offered the perfect response to those who “get mad” about her decision to block people on social media.

The tennis star, 20, urged users to be “more mindful” online, admitting she spends a fair amount of time clearing her feed.

“I really don’t care. I know it’s a little, small thing on Twitter because I was blocking so many people. They are, like, ‘You say anything, and she blocks.’ Yes, I do,” Gauff said in a press conference at the US Open.

“I’m not entitled to read negative things about myself. Just as you’re entitled to write that, I’m entitled to block it.”
