Coco GauffSorana Cirstea
Somehow on Sunday, Coco Gauff prevailed in her match over Sorana Cirstea. The three set affair pushed the ill Gauff to her physical limits.
Gauff was forced to take the rest of the day off. She did not take the court with Robin Montgomery for their planned doubles match.
We hope Gauff is recuperating, and we suggest that if she is still under the weather and decides to play on Monday, that she should bring back the baseball cap.

Why Gauff needs the rally cap
She wore it at the Miami Open in her first tournament after retiring from Indian Wells with the arm injury. At the time, Gauff explained that the cap was out of necessity because she did not feel like doing her hair. She made it to the Miami Open final wearing the now retired cap.
She personally did not like the cap and proclaimed it was one-and-done in Miami. The signature headband has been back since.
Reviving the cap for the Mutua Madrid Open latter rounds may help shield her face from the sun. Gauff seemed bothered by the heat much more than usual on Sunday, because of her sickness, and was needing ice packs often.

Also, everyone will be honed in on her more than usual so the cap blocks the inquisitive eyes on her. Aryna Sabalenka wore one in the Miami Open a few years ago for similar reasons.
