“I’m not going to rehash this because I want to do things to the US Open,” said the world’s world Coco Gauff after its elimination on Tuesday as soon as it entered Wimbledon.
“Perhaps 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 (7-6, 6-1) 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 said.
“Mentally, I was a little overwhelmed”
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 do not want to scratch from the lawn card so early in my career, but it is certain that I must make changes if I want to have success here,” continued Gauff, who has never been 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.
