Coco Gauff talked about how she staged her comeback in the last two sets and how her opponent posed a big threat in this match.
“Obviously, the last two sets were a lot better. It was tough finding, like, my rhythm. I find the conditions are so much slower than in Madrid. I felt it was impossible to hit a winner. Victoria played great tennis. She forced me to play like that. So full credit to her. I was pretty composed because I felt like I was playing the right way in the first, just not necessarily connecting on some shots,” Coco Gauff said.
