After reaching the final of the French Open, American tennis player Coco Gauff pointed out the major problems with gun violence in her home country.
"Peace!
End gun violence,” the 18-year-old wrote on the lens of the TV camera in Paris.
It is common for tennis pros to write greetings or messages on the camera after their wins.
“It is important for me to use the platform that I have.
Especially here in Europe,” said Gauff after her 6: 3, 6: 1 against Martina Trevisan from Italy in the semifinals on Thursday.
"We definitely need a change and a reform in this aspect," emphasized Gauff.
Immediately after her victory, she also said: "So many things are happening in the world right now, especially in the USA.
This is just a tennis match.”
The United States is currently being rocked by a spate of acts in which gunmen open fire and kill several people.
At an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, 19 children and two teachers were shot dead last week.
