Coco Gauff forced to shower in pitch black locker room during Madrid Open power cut

Coco Gauff revealed that she had to shower in the dark after the Madrid Open was affected by a mass power cut. The world No. 4 luckily managed to win her fourth-round match moments before the lights went out inside the Caja Magica, with the power going out in the middle of her on-court interview.

However, the outage affected Gauff's post-match commitments. The American shared footage from inside the women's locker room, which was pitch black except for one emergency light away from the shower area.
