Detected Manipulations & Suggested Changes

Appeal to authority

Quoting former presidents and other famous figures to add credibility and influence the reader's opinion.

Former President congratulated Coco Gauff on her U.S. Open title Saturday, less than two weeks after attending her first comeback of the tournament. After Gauff rallied to beat Aryna Sabalenka 2-6, 6-3, 6-2, messages quickly poured onto the social media platform formerly known as in celebration of the 19-year-old American's first Grand Slam title. “We couldn’t be prouder of you on and off the court — and we know the best is yet to come,” Barack Obama wrote. Obama and his wife, Michelle, were in Arthur Ashe Stadium on opening night, when Gauff rallied for a 3-6, 6-2, 6-4 win over Laura Siegemund. They met with her after the match, which was followed by a tribute to Billie Jean King as part of a celebration of the 50th anniversary of the U.S. Open becoming the first sporting event to offer equal prize money to female and male competitors. Michelle Obama also sent congratulations with a picture of their meeting, while Clinton wrote that: “The future of American looks bright. ” Gauff and her parents also received a congratulatory phone call from President , who was in New Delhi for the Group of 20 summit. Gauff thanked King for the leading the prize money fight when she collected her $3 million winner's prize. King responded to a tweet showing video of that moment, posting that: “This generation is living the dream of the Original 9,” referring to herself and the other women who signed $1 contracts to launch a women's pro circuit in 1970. Basketball Hall of Famer Magic Johnson congratulated Gauff and praised her parents, writing that “Corey and Candi, they’ve done an outstanding job!”

Remove the quotes from former presidents and other famous figures and focus on the facts of the tournament and Gauff's achievements.

Biased language

Using positive language to describe Gauff and her achievements.

“The support I have gotten is incredible,” Gauff said. “Obviously from President Obama and former first lady Michelle is crazy that they were here my first-round match, and now I’m a different person now.” Gauff thanked King for the leading the prize money fight when she collected her $3 million winner's prize. King responded to a tweet showing video of that moment, posting that: “This generation is living the dream of the Original 9,” referring to herself and the other women who signed $1 contracts to launch a women's pro circuit in 1970. Basketball Hall of Famer Magic Johnson congratulated Gauff and praised her parents, writing that “Corey and Candi, they’ve done an outstanding job!”

Use neutral language to describe Gauff and her achievements.

Omission of key information

Not mentioning the names of other competitors who congratulated Gauff.

And Gauff got kudos from rival competitors, with 2017 U.S. Open champion Sloane Stephens telling her that “ my girl you are amazing!!!! ”

Include the names of other competitors who congratulated Gauff.
