Coco Gauff Addresses Match Scheduling
Gauff shared personal experiences of late-night matches followed by early morning starts, emphasizing the detrimental impact on rest and preparation. Her insights shed light on a prevalent concern within the tennis community.
“The situation last week in Montreal, even, like, when I played and I finished against Marketa at, like, 10:30, they were trying to put me at 1:00 the next day, which meant warming up at 11:15, which means waking up, leaving the hotel at 9:00 and waking up at 8:00. Finishing at 10:30, by the time you get to the hotel, that hotel was, like, a 40-minute drive away,” said Gauff.
Coco Gauff's words, "That was, like, a smoother night. But, you know, it still was rough waking up the next day. It does affect you,"
