Despite being the youngest singles player at the WTA Finals, Coco Gauff is no stranger to discussing challenging subjects.
Unsurprisingly for many, she was the player who spoke most extensively about human rights in Saudi Arabia, with the country hosting a major women's sport event for the first time.
Gauff said she had had reservations about playing in the kingdom but agreed to go ahead and compete, believing "you have to start little by little" for change to happen.
She was insistent, though, that there had to be a "real plan in place".
Gauff is - at least for now - willing to place her trust in promises from the WTA and Saudi Tennis Federation (STF) that the deal for Riyadh to host the prestigious end-of-season event for the top eight women in singles and doubles can be a force for good.
