Coco Gauff is not too concerned with her Cincinnati exit or recent form, because the world no. 11 says that the tennis season is just too long and it is not realistic to expect a player to perform his best all year round.
After he had not dropped a set on his way to the quarterfinals of Cincinnati, the home star also made a lightning device against Jasmine Paolini and took the opener with a 6-2 score. But then the two -time Grand Slam Champion’s serving misery came back and eventually lost in three sets after touching 16 double errors.
During the clay season, Gauff was excellent as a back-to-back number two in Madrid and Rome before she lifted her first French open title. But since the conquering of Roland Garros, the American tennis star is only 4-4 and has had a few early outputs and surprising defeats.
Gauff explains why ups and downs are normal in tennis
“Sometimes tennis fans want to win every week. But we play 11 months. It’s not that easy, so it’s completely normal that a player has a good three, four weeks, then perhaps a non-so-good three, four weeks only because the way our season was built,” explained the 21-year-old, “the 21-year-old explained.

Gauff would certainly have done better in the run -up to the US Open. However, she still received six games under her belt and there is no doubt that no one from the competition will take her naturally at Flushing Meadows.
In 2023, Gauff 19 was when she became a Grand Slam champion at the US Open. Last year her title defense ended in the round of 16 after a loss for Emma Navarro.
