The war is true to Coco gafff.
The American superstar accepted so much after finding its way in the third round of this year at US Open. Gauff no.3 seeds defeated Donna Vekic 7-6 (3), 6-2 at Arthur Ase Stadium. This was despite 21-year-old Guff once again dealing with that much talk about the service service.
Both players endured a poor service, especially in the first set with Gauff and Vekic combing for a total of 16 double mistakes.
After losing her service again to fall after 4-5, Gauff was significantly disturbed during the replacement and buried her head in her towel, before wiping some tears.
After the match, Guff in her post -match interview admitted that the match, and in recent weeks, have been difficult for her. It is not surprising, given all the latest media review on the job of biomekanist Gavin Macmillan to help regulate its service.
“That was a difficult. I was happy about how I was able to manage. It’s been a few approximate weeks, but I’m just happy to be back in this court,” Guff said. “And you guys bring me a lot of joy.”
When the crowd cheering, Gauff overcame with emotion, briefly stopped to compose himself. Gauff then added. “You really help me a lot. I’m doing this for myself, but I’m doing it too for you.”
Gauff, the last champion Roland-Garros, has not had the results he would like from Paris. A loss of the first round in Wimbledon, followed by earlier exits than expected in Montreal and Cincinnat had many thoughts on the form of former Open 2023 2023 champion going to New York. Changing the last minute training of Gauffi immediately before US Open, mainly to address its latest service issues, added only speculation.
Gauff got encountered with the past At the end Tomjlanovic In three hours in her first round game, and it was expected that Vekic could give more to American problems this time. Vekic, 28-year-old Croatian, though not controlled this year, has a number of victories over the top five players in her career. Last year, she reached Wimbledon’s semifinals and won the Olympic silver medal in the Paris bachelors.
But neither Guff and Vekic can build much momentum in the first set as both players make numerous mistakes throughout the set. After the trading break several times, Vekic managed to recover at 5-4 where she would serve for the first set.
Before this could happen, Vekic took a medical time to have treatment on her right arm. When she resumed the game, the mistakes continued for Vekic as she fell in love to deliver the holiday for the 5th.
A tiebreak was eventually needed to set the set. Guff with a strong foreword to the middle trial managed to advance forward for 6-5 late in Tiebreak. Gauff then took the 7-6 (5) set when Vekic lost a certain point.
While both women cleared their games in the second set, it was Gauff who won the first advantage. Gauff broke vekic service again in love to go 2-1. Gauff later left a resting point in her next service game before she went 3-1.
Gauff gained a late security break in Set when Vekic, as before, reappeared her service in love. Gauff soon ended the direct victory with a volleyball winner for the crowd’s satisfaction at home.
Next for Gauff is no. 28 seeds Magdalena Cheeky of Poland.
