Coco Gauff comments publicly on the Women’s Tennis Association’s new player eligibility policy, which includes a mandatory, one-off genetic test related to the SRY gene. Speaking at the Canadian Open in Toronto, the two-time Grand Slam champion says she supports the trans community while also emphasizing the importance of fairness in women’s sport. Gauff addresses criticism and social tension around the policy, saying that some discussions have led to “animosity” toward trans people. She also says she understands the reasoning behind the WTA’s decision, reflecting that the conversation around eligibility affects both athletes and the broader public. Across the coverage, Gauff’s position is presented as a balance between inclusion and competitive fairness, with her remarks focused on how the policy is framed and discussed rather than on rejecting the WTA’s rationale outright.
