Better Quote by Coco Gauff
“It's great when they say I'm young and I'm doing great things. It will get frustrating when they say: 'You're young, you don't know any better.' I think it's a good thing to point out that to a younger person but I think we shouldn't put someone's intelligence down no matter what.”
