Coco Vandeweghe displays a petulant act during pre game warmup

The opening game at the ITS USA 16A witnessed an act of disrespect towards the opponent. Coco did not warmup properly before her game against Gorgodze. She was hitting the ball by taking her own sweet time and did not look like she had any intentions of playing. Moreover, the authorities did not fine her for the act and it has shocked the fans.

This kind of act was not expected from Vandeweghe, a former Top 10 player in the WTA rankings. Her actions raised many eyebrows around the court in Landsville. Vandeweghe also started switching her hands while warming up on court. However, the change in hands did not affect her attitude on court.
