# Tennis: World number four Coco Gauff says she suffered racial abuse on social media following an incident in her win over Sun Xinran at the China Open. The American was serving 4-5 in the first set when Sun thought she had hit a winner, but Gauff stopped play over a flickering light in the side panels around the court. She went on to win the match, 7-5, 6-1, to reach the last 16 in Beijing. Gauff explained the situation in a social media post, emphasising that she is not a cheater.
