'If we're both fit enough, why not?' Carlos Alcaraz and Rafael Nadal reaffirm Paris Olympic doubles hopes in Madrid

Out of her 11 matches that have gone the distance this season, Coco Gauff has come out on top eight times. The teenager undoubtedly has the utmost composure in pressure moments and the same is to be said off the court. Gauff is through to the quarterfinals in Charleston, but it wasn't without facing some adversity.

After claiming her Charleston opener, the teenager found herself stuck in her hotel's elevator around midnight.

"I stretched at the hotel and then I went up to go to my room and then I heard the elevator shake and I automatically knew this was finally my time to be stuck. The guy on the help button said, 'I can send a mechanic in an hour and I was like no. So I was just dancing and listening to music while I was waiting for somebody to hear me," Gauff told Tennis Channel.

Luckily someone did hear Gauff entertaining herself in the elevator and called 911 for assistance. Before the firefighters arrived, Gauff made the most of her time without internet connection by making a viral TikTok. The elevator video has more than 500,000 views.

"I didn't have any Instagram no internet, nothing. So I was just listening to the music that I already had downloaded.

"My TikTok got over 500,000 views, so it was worth it. Get stuck in an elevator, record a TikTok if you want to go viral," Gauff said laughingly.

A fan of Marvel's newly released WandaVision, Weissman asked what CocoVision would look like when she's not stuck in an elevator or bubble?

"I don't have the magic to create my own alternate reality, but if I could create my own alternate reality, definitely Chick-fil-A would be in Westview," Gauff said. "Everyone would have powers in Westview and what else would I want in Westview? A Tesla, yeah."

Good looking out for the environment, Gauff. The world No. 36 will take on No. 12 seed Ons Jabeur for a spot in Volvo Car Open's semifinal.
