Coco Gauff has changed her course this season. After disappointing performances since the start of the season, she won an astounding victory in the Cincinnati Masters. This victory came in addition to the Citi Open win. The American relished her win over her foe and used the gym facility to cool down after the match, where she ran into Novak Djokovic, who was warming up to face Carlos Alcaraz in his next match. 

This was not the only match Gauff played before Djokovic. In her previous bout, the arena was crowded. But Gauff didn’t believe that the tennis fans were there to watch her. She felt that she was the opening act for the following match.

The American player reveled in her victory as she was all smiles after winning her first Masters title, a much-needed victory for her. After the match, Gauff decided to use the gym facilities of the venue and found herself face-to-face with another finalist. 

Since his match was up next, Gauff met with Novak Djokovic as he warmed up for his final bout. Djokovic faced Carlos Alcaraz later and took his revenge after the Wimbledon defeat. He went on to win the match by winning in three sets and saving one championship point.
