Coco Gauff couldn't help but marvel at the luxury state of her locker room for the WTA Finals after arriving in the Saudi Arabian capital of Riyadh ahead of the tournament. The curtain closer for the 2024 calendar is being staged in the Gulf nation for the first time after players complained of being treated to sub-standard facilities at the event in Cancun last year. However, there are valid concerns about the country's human rights record and treatment of women, which have been raised by former players such as Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova.
Gauff has said she is keen to make the most of her time while she is there and declared she was "excited" for what the organisers had planned. And the 20-year-old appeared to be chuffed with the state of her locker room after arriving for her third appearance at the WTA Finals, which begin this week. "My locker room for the last tournament of the year @wtafinalsriyadh," Gauff wrote on Instagram , adding a heart-eyed emoji.
She then gave her 1.8 million followers a sneak peek of where she will be stationed for the WTA end-of-season tournament. As she walked inside the spacious room, a huge print of Gauff's face appeared above her name, which was emblazoned in large letters.
The walls were painted with a royal blue and pink colour theme. Gauff then walked further inside to show a flat-screen TV, small sofa to relax on and a spacious bathroom with a marble top and large sink. To the right, a towering wardrobe stood for her to store he.
