Covid-19 Memupus Impian Coco Gauff Tampil di Olimpiade Tokyo 2020

  • Coco Gauff dipastikan bakal absen memperkuat tim tenis Amerika Serikat pada Olimpiade Tokyo 2020.
  • Pemain 17 tahun itu terpaksa mundur karena teridentifikasi positif Covid-19 beberapa hari sebelum berangkat ke Jepang.
  • Coco Gauff sejatinya diandalkan tim tenis Amerika Serikat karena bermain rangkap pada Olimpiade Tokyo 2020. 

SKOR.id - Cori "Coco" Gauff antusias saat namanya terpilih sebagai salah satu petenis yang bakal mewakili Amerika Serikat pada Olimpiade Tokyo 2020.

Dara yang baru merayakan ulang tahun ke-17 pada 13 Maret 2021 itu pun bakal tercatat sebagai petenis termuda yang tampil di Olimpiade sejak Sydney 2000.

Coco Gauff juga akan jadi petenis termuda kedua asal Amerika Serikat yang pernah tampil di Olimpiade setelah Jennifer Capriati memenangi medali emas Olimpiade Barcelona 1992.

Sayang, dua skenario itu dipastikan gagal terwujud setelah Coco Gauff mengumumkan tak akan tampil di Olimpiade Tokyo 2020 karena positif terinfeksi Covid-19.

 

Belum jelas apakah Coco Gauff yang masih berusia 17 tahun sudah menjalani proses vaksinasi

Lewat sebuah unggahan di media sosial pada Minggu (18/7/2021) waktu setempat, Coco Gauff mengutarakan penyesalannya batal tampil di Olimpiade Tokyo 2020.

"Saya merasa sangat kecewa untuk membagikan kabar bahwa saya positiv Covid-19 dan tak akan bisa bermain di Olimpiade Tokyo 2020," tulisnya dalam pernyataan resmi.

"Mewakili Amerika Serikat dalam Olimpiade adalah sesuatu yang selalu saya impikan."

"Saya berharap akan ada banyak kesempatan untuk saya bisa mewujudkan impian ini menjadi kenyataan di masa depan," ujar tunggal putri peringkat 25 dunia tersebut.

Pada kesempatan itu, Coco Gauff juga mendoakan tim tenis Amerika Serikat untuk mendapat hasil terbaik pada Olimpiade Tokyo 2020.

Ia pun berharap agar semua peserta Olimpiade bisa terus dalam kondisi aman selama menjalani kompetisi di tengah situasi pandemi.

Asosiasi Tenis Amerika Serikat (USTA) mengaku turut sedih mendengar kabar Coco Gauff positif terinfeksi Covid-19 sehingga tak bisa tampil di Olimpiade Tokyo 2020.

Apalagi Coco Gauff cukup diandalkan karena bakal bermain rangkap, tunggal putri dan ganda putri bersama Nicole Melichar.

Belum jelas apakah USTA bakal memanggil pemain lain untuk mengisi posisi Coco Gauff atau hanya berangkat dengan tiga tunggal putri dan satu pasang ganda putri.

Tiga tunggal putri yang dimaksud adalah Jennifer Brady (peringkat 15 dunia), Jessica Pegula (27), dan Alison Riske (36).

Jessica Pegula bakal diplot bermain rangkap dan turun pada nomor ganda putri bersama Bethanie Mattek-Sands.
