Serena Williams and Coco Gauff clash over controversial rules

The official description of UNO’s “Draw 2” rules states that players are not allowed to stack them, which caused a conflict between Serena Williams and Coco Gauff.

Williams believes it was the right thing to do, but Goff will not abide by UNO’s decision in this case.

UNO’s “Draw 2” rules have been the subject of heated discussion on the Internet for years.

Many players disagree with the official stance and believe that a “Draw 2” card can play another “Draw 2” card.

Recently, the Instagram account Factsdaily sparked another debate by sharing a new post about the rule.

“Please note that you can only put down one card at a time; you cannot stack two or more cards on top of each other in the same turn. For example, you cannot put draw two on top of another draw card in the same turn Two or Wild Draw Four on top, or put two Wild Draw Four cards together,” the account wrote.

As the post went viral, Williams and Goff joined the fun. Goff was strongly skeptical and refused to budge on the thorny issue, even scoffing that UNO should keep the rule a secret rather than ruin all the fun.

“Gul. Uno let me tell you a suggestion. Some things you just have to keep secret because no… I regret it! I refuse!” Goff wrote.

Williams was pleased because the official rules did vindicate her.

She claims she’s been telling people the same thing and now has the backing of the manufacturer.

“I was told,” Serena Williams wrote.

Goff admits she owes her career to the emergence of Serena Williams.

Gauff found Williams’ game to be an inspiration not just for her growing up, but in many ways.

She was shocked at how Williams and Maria Sharapova came back from losses in big tournaments to score more.

“I grew up watching these games, watching Serena (Williams) and (Maria) Sharapova lose these games,” Goff said in Melbourne.

“When you’re in the middle of it, it feels like the end of the world, but when you look back at history, they didn’t let one game define their career.”

Goff credits the Williams sisters as the sole reason she got into the sport.

“Crazy. They’re the reason I got this trophy today,” she said after her U.S. Open win.

“Honestly, they made me believe in the dream. Growing up, there weren’t a lot of black tennis players dominating the sport. “That was really when I was younger, they were the only ones I can remember. “
