She served up 23 double faults in her opening match of the event, narrowly defeating her countrywoman Danielle Collins in a third-set tiebreak. Gauff will continue her doubles campaign, where she has noticed a significant improvement in her serving prowess, before facing Victoria Mboko in the upcoming round.
When playing doubles, Coco Gauff discusses how her serve differs.
Gauff commented, “My doubles yesterday, I hit zero double faults, so it was just, like, okay,” following her victory over Kudermetova. It’s unquestionably good. “I played to give myself pressure moments, but I would like to serve the way I do in doubles and singles.” “You know, it’s strange. Serving in doubles puts more pressure on me than in singles because I don’t want to sit here and give my partner the advantage. “I’m attempting to apply that mindset to singles, but it’s not that simple. Absolutely, I’m glad I have another opportunity to compete and improve.
