Coco Gauff says she confronted Saudi Arabian princess over nation's human rights abuse, but still played there

American tennis star Coco Gauff says she met with Saudi Arabian Princess Reema bint Bandar Al Saud to discuss women's rights and LGBTQ issues during her visit to the country for the World Tennis Tour championships. Gauff admitted to having reservations about participating in the event due to Saudi Arabia's treatment of women and the LGBT community. She compared the situation to her grandmother's experience during the integration of public schools in the US. Gauff hopes that her presence and the involvement of the Women's Tennis Association in Saudi Arabia will help promote equality and open doors for change.
