Before Coco Gauff emerged victorious in the US Open, a lot of people had doubts surrounding her success. Tennis fans were always speculating about her short-lived success as she reached the semi-finals of major tournaments but did not win a grand slam. But once she was the winner of a grand slam, that too the US Open, things changed for Coco.

And this win not only changed the perspective of people around her or her fans, but it also made her feel different about herself with this newfound success. Coco Gauff recently talked during her China Open journey about how the victory has changed things for her and reduced pressure on her shoulders.

Winning a tournament of this scale at such a young age is truly life-changing and phenomenal. Surely that is how Coco Gauff felt too. After being surrounded by doubts and hits and misses for so long, she finally won her maiden grand slam.

Recently during one of her press conferences in Beijing, she talked about how it has made her feelings different towards herself. Coco added, “Having those victories makes me feel more confident now, especially because of how the US Open went. There is a lot more pressure in a Grand Slam, but I think I can handle emotions better thanks to the experience. Now it’s like some weight has been lifted off my shoulders, I can play more freely.”
