US Open: “I arrive confident”, warns Coco Gauff

Since her elimination in the first round at Wimbledon, Gauff (6th in the world) has won eleven matches for a defeat, with titles in Washington and especially at the WTA 1000 in Cincinnati, where she beat the world No.1 Iga Swiatek in the semi-finals. . “August has been a great month so far, hopefully it will spill over into September! What has changed is confidence: I believe in myself, she said at a press conference. I believe in the work I do in training. I hope it will continue to show in the game. I have a new technical team around me (especially Brad Gilbert, editor’s note). Seeing things from another angle can sometimes change things completely. I have new perspectives and I like that a lot.” Enough to make her an outsider of choice: “My state of mind has evolved as I grew up. But there, I arrive confident in my preparation, confident in my execution. I hope everything will work out, but at the same time, I’m not too worried if it doesn’t. I really enjoy the process of building a career as a tennis player, the ups and downs. I know right now I’m high and I know I’m going through a low, hoping it’s not this week… But it can happen (smile). Everyone loses, even the best of the best.
