'Put her in the lineup!': Tennis star Coco Gauff visits GABP for Reds-Phillies game

Coco Gauff: "It's my first Reds baseball game, and I'm having a great time."

Tennis star Coco Gauff took time away from the Cincinnati Open at the Lindner Family Tennis Center to take in the second of three games between the Cincinnati Reds and Philadelphia Phillies at Great American Ball Park.

The Reds tweeted video of Gauff, with the caption, "Welcome to GABP, @CocoGauff!"

In the video, Gauff said, "Hey guys, it's Coco, and I'm excited to be here supporting the Reds. It's my first Reds baseball game, and I'm having a great time.

Gauff, the second seed in the tennis tournament, was scheduled to face No. 32 Dayana Yastremska earlier in the day, but Yastremska withdrew because of illness.

Among replies to the Reds' tweet about Gauff was one from former Reds relief pitcher and "Nasty Boy" Rob Dibble, who tweeted, "Put her in the lineup!"
