Gauff gave the key to his defeat against Badosa at the Australian Open

The American Coco Gauffwas eliminated in the quarterfinals of the Australian Open by Paula Badosaacknowledged that the Spanish played better, especially the key points of the match.

“Paula played very well, excellent. A few moments in the first set could have gone to my side and the result of the first set could have been different“Gauff regretted that he could not repeat what happened in the Beijing tournament a few months ago when he overcame the Spaniards.

“Our last match in Beijing was similar. I also had a set down and a couple of points later was decisive. I don’t think he did anything different. It’s just that he played the key points better. In that it is better” insisted the American.

“We have to hope. I’m disappointed but not anymore. I didn’t sink and I’m already waiting for another chance to come.“said the United States player.

Gauff regrets the many mistakes he made in the match. “I made too many unforced errors and had to be more aggressive. “Like the last few months, I’ve been more aggressive and that’s a great development in my game.”

However, Coco Gauff has nothing to blame herself. “I just finished a game that I lost and I’m disappointed. But I gave it my all on the court and I have nothing to blame myself for, I fought until the end and that’s what will make my fights fall.. These defeats two years ago affected me more, I was sunk deeper and I felt like the world was coming to an end. I just thought that I could have done something more in a while but I did my best,” he said.

“I improved. Losing at the US Open was more disappointing. Now I think I have more resources, I know what I should improve. At the US Open I had to work more on my serve. I think I’m on the right track, I don’t think I’m a step backwards. On the contrary,” concluded Coco Gauff.
