科科·高夫表示，她在中国公开赛第三轮击败中国选手孙馨然后，在社交媒体上收到了“疯狂”的种族辱骂，此前一个重播球点的争议引发了网上的强烈批评。
Coco Gauff says she has received an “insane” amount of racial abuse on social media after the two-time Grand Slam champion beat local teenager Sun Xinran at the China Open in a third-round match, where a replayed point prompted an online backlash.
这位美国网球明星以7-5、6-1战胜对手，晋级第四轮，但在第一盘关键球时暂停比赛，并举手投降，抱怨广告牌闪烁，正当孙馨正在准备击球获胜时。
The American tennis star won 7-5, 6-1 to reach the fourth round, but was targeted after stopping play during a crucial point in the first set, raising her hand to complain about a flickering advertising board just as Sun was about to put away a winner.
经过视频复核，裁判员下达重赛命令。高夫赢得重赛球积分，并在5-5时保发，随后轻松战胜16岁的中国选手。高夫表示，比赛结束后她收到了大量辱骂信息。
After a video review, the umpire ordered a replay. Gauff won the replayed point and held serve for 5-5 before cruising to victory against the 16-year-old Chinese. Gauff said she had received a barrage of abusive messages on social media after the match.
“你可以不喜欢我或不同意刚才发生的事情，但不应该带有种族偏见，”高夫（她是黑人）在本周二早些时候在X平台上回复一条包含种族侮辱的帖子时说。
“You can dislike me or disagree about what happened without being racist,” Gauff, who is Black, said on X early on Tuesday in reply to a post containing a racial slur.
“过去几个小时我收到的种族评论和直接消息的数量简直难以置信。“最后，我不是一个作弊者或小偷。”
“The amount of racist comments/direct messages I’ve received in the last few hours is insane. “Lastly, I’m not a cheater or a thief.”
WTA通过引入一款由人工智能驱动的系统来监控数千名球员和官员在社交媒体上的言论，从而努力应对在线辱骂问题。
The WTA has made efforts to tackle the issue of online abuse by introducing an AI-powered system which monitors thousands of players and officials on social media.
WTA和世界网球联合会的一项研究显示，2025年选手在社交媒体上遭受了超过12,000条辱骂帖子和信息，较前一年的8,000条有所增加。
A study by the WTA and World Tennis showed players were subjected to more than 12,000 abusive posts and messages on social media in 2025, up from 8,000 posts a year earlier.
高夫还解释说，她在挑战球点时是遵循规则的。球员可以要求对特定的判罚进行视频复核，包括声称干扰可能影响比赛进行的干扰行为。22岁的她表示，比赛结束后她已与孙馨谈过这球点的事情。
Gauff also explained that she was following the rules when she challenged the point. Players are allowed to request video reviews of select judgement calls, including claims a distraction may have interfered with play. The 22-year-old said she had spoken to Sun about the point at the end of the match.
“孙馨是一位 incredible天才和球员，比赛结束后我为这件事道了歉，她完全理解，”她写道。
“Xinran’s an incredible talent and player, I apologised for the situation at the end of the match and she completely understood,” she wrote.
“我不忍心看到她如此情绪激动，因为我也有过同样的经历，完全能体会那种感受。不过，这只是一个辉煌职业生涯的开端。能在家乡的观众面前与她同场竞技，我感到无比荣幸。”
“I didn’t like to see her so emotional as I’ve been there and I really understand what it’s like but this is the beginning of an incredible career. It was an honour to share the court in front of her home crowd.”
