Gauff on Early Loss: Perspective & Positivity

Released in the first round in London this Tuesday, the Roland-Garros winner wanted to put her failure into perspective.

«I’m not going to rehash this because I want to do things to the US Open“, The world’s world N.2 Coco Gauff has already projected itself after its elimination Tuesday as soon as it entered Wimbledon. “”Maybe losing in the first round is not the worst thing in the world because I have time to start from scratch“Added the 21 -year -old American, beaten in two sets by the Ukrainian Dayana Yastremska (42nd).

The 2025 Wimbledon lifting saw several head of the start of the entrance, like Jessica Pegula in the ladies, Alexander Zverev, Daniil Medvedev or Holger Rune in the gentlemen. “”I have the impression that in Wimbledon, there have always been a lot of surprises in the first round. I think it’s always a subject“, She commented.

“Mentally a little overwhelmed” after Roland-Garros

She advanced, as a possible explanation, the delicate passage from the clay to the lawn just after Roland-Garros, which she won just over three weeks ago in Paris. “”I don’t want to scratch myself from the lawn card so early in my career, but it is certain that I have to make changes if I want to be successful here“Continued Gauff, who never went beyond the knockout stages in London.

She also thinks that she did not necessarily manage the days that followed her triumph in Paris. “”I have the impression that mentally, I was a little overwhelmed by everything that happened afterwards, so I did not have time to celebrate this and get back into the bath. But it was the first time that I had come out of a victory and that I had to play Wimbledon. I learned a lot about what I will do and will not do“, She concluded.
