Third seed Gauff was upset when cameras caught her smashing her racquet in the depths of the stadium on Tuesday after she was beaten in the Australian Open quarterfinals.
The American was trying to find somewhere private to let out her frustrations, rather than doing so on court in front of fans including children.
“T tried to go somewhere where they wouldn't broadcast it, but obviously they did,’ said Gauff.
“So maybe some conversations can be had because! feel like at this tournament the only private place we have is the locker room.”
