American tennis star Coco Gauff isn't one to go out of her way to share her political beliefs, but when she's presented a question about the ongoings in the United States, she's quick to talk about just how bad things are in her home country.

During last month's Australian Open, Gauff was among many American players who wererandomly asked to share their thoughtsabout the country one year into President Donald Trump's second term. While the majority of players didn't take the bait and bash the United States from a press room on the other side of the world, Gauff couldn't resist.

After saying that she felt "fatigued" talking about politics, she stated that "it's hard being a black woman" in the United States. Gauff, who will turn 22 in March, turned professional at 14-years-old and has a reported net worth of more than $30 million.

A month removed from the Aussie Open, Gauff spoke withThe Guardianahead of this week's Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships. While she did voice harsh criticism of the United States, specifically the deaths and protests involving ICE agents in Minnesota, she didn't completely stick to the very predictable liberal playbook.

"Everything going on in the US, obviously I’m not really for it. I don’t think people should be dying in the streets just for existing. I don’t like what’s going on," Gauff said.

This then led Gauff to throw a bit of a curveball.

"I think for me, it is tough to sometimes wake up and see something because I do care a lot about our country. I think people think I don’t for some reason, but I do. I’m very proud to be American," Gauff said.

"But I think when you’re from any country, you don’t have to represent the entire values of what’s going on in the leadership. I think there’s a lot of people around there who believe in the things I believe in, and believe in diversity and equality. So, I’m hoping as the future progresses that we can get back to those values."
