‘If You Don’t Vote, Then You’re Not Cool’- American Youngster Coco Gauff’s Ingenious Dig at Reilly Opelka Following His ‘Election Day’ Mockery

Coco Gauff is not just a great tennis player. The 18-year-old is also an aware and responsible US citizen. She recently asked people to exercise their right to vote after practicing hers. However, Reilly Opelka threw some shade on people who were asking other people to vote. Many fans assumed that it was directed toward Gauff.

Now, Gauff has released another video in which she asked the people to vote again. Is it a response to Opelka’s tweet or just an unrelated video?

Coco Gauff sums up her views by asking people to vote after Reilly Opelka’s dig

The 18-year-old is going to represent the US team at the Billie Jean King Cup. Despite being very busy, she has exercised her right to vote and has urged the people to do the same. However, Reilly Opelka faced a lot of brunt from tennis fans as he tweeted, “Imagine telling people to go vote”.

The fans assumed he tweeted it to take a dig at Gauff. However, Gauff has come up with another video in which she cleverly reiterated her take without being direct. She went on to address the topic and said, “Anyways, I wanna say this video is to remind all of you guys to vote. Today is election day! And that means it’s time to vote if you haven’t already.” Gauff then dictated her schedule and said, “In the last two weeks, I have been to four different cities and two different countries. You’re like, why are you talking about that?”

She reasoned, “I am saying that because that means if I found the time to vote, then, so can you. It literally took me 30 minutes, and some places are even faster.” With a sweet message to her fans, she said, “So, I just wanna say if you wanna be a cool person and if you have the right to vote, exercise that right to vote. If you don’t vote, then you’re not cool. Okay?”
