Coco Gauff, the American tennis star, has had a good year. Though the WTA Finals of last week weakened her spirit a bit, she is now ready to undo the loss. Gauff is looking forward to representing her nation in the upcoming Billie Jean King Cup. She is craving a team event to wash off the strain of the last tournament’s unfortunate defeat. Here’s what she had to say about bringing back her game on track.
Coco Gauff is ready for a fresh start.
Gauff suffered a straight-set loss against the World No 1 Iga Swiatek in the group stage of the WTA Finals. On top of that, she and Jessica Pegula’s duo failed to live up to fans’ expectations who thought of them as the next Serena and Venus Williams.
Gauff is looking for a way to let out the lingering frustration.
“Texas didn’t go the way I wanted it to go. That motivated me even more to come here,” Gauff said.
Gauff had more to add.
Thereafter she added, “It’s very rare tennis experiences a team atmosphere. I played other team sports like basketball. That’s the one thing I did miss from playing (basketball). The Billie Jean Cup is what brings you closest to that.”
Gauff’s noteworthy run this season.
Gauff’s year took a slow start and caught pace in the clay court season. She, with a quarterfinal run from the Qatar Open, played till the round of 16 of WTA 1000 events in Madrid and Rome. She made up to the finals of the French Open, but failed to secure the title.
