The score read 6-1, 6-0 in favor of Gauff, who is playing her first match since her third-round loss at Wimbledon. The American blasted seven aces as she managed to wrap up the clash in under an hour. Despite the 18-year-old's sensational performance, the most talked about moment turned out to be Gauff's shoes. It was during the second set, with the American leading the set and while returning Kalinina's serve, Gauff ran from one corner of the court to another. In the end, she halted right near the baseline after hitting the winner to secure a point for her. Later on Instagram, she thanked her shoes for their superb control.

The caption of the video compared Gauff to the Spanish youngster, Carlos Alcaraz. However, the caption did not go down well with fans on Twitter. Tennis fans criticized the move and questioned the logic behind such a comparison. One fan slightly hinted towards calling out their Twitter profile for their sexist remarks. "wonders if a male tennis player would be compared to a similar-aged female player in the same way."

She literally had her breakthrough before Alcaraz. Besides, Alcaraz did not invent running fast/sliding on hard/hitting forehand passing shots on the run.No need to simp for him this hard. Some hardcore tennis fans chastised the tweet by mentioning the fact that Gauff is senior to Alcaraz in terms of experience and that the former should be appreciated for her athleticism. "What an absurd comparison. First, she's been on the pro tour longer than he has. Second, be excited about her athleticism without comparing her to anyone else. Last, how about: Serena, Kim Clisters (maybe the best to slide on hard), Novak, the list goes on. Seriously poor choice." Liz@LizLoden@WeAreTennis @WTA What an absurd comparison.
