Gauff is fighting with new service, holding on to open outdoor

New York – Coco GauffThe first match because to enter someone to help her help her on Tuesday evening on Tuesday night on Tuesday night. It is twice as wrong in the first game – and 10 times in total. It was also terminated in that game – and six times in total.

The only numbers that really counted in the end, of course, were on the Arthur Ashe Stadium pan, and they showed that Gauff was no. 3 seeds for 6-4, 6-7 (2), 7-5 win 7-5 over Ajla Tomljanovic to reach the second round on rinse meadows.

“It wasn’t the best,” Gauff said. “But I will be happy to pass.”

Nothing was easy. Gauff took a break in another set twice, but he couldn’t finish things. In the third, it rose 5-3 and served to win 5-4, but she was twice as wrong twice in a row and missed a pair of forehand to make it 5-everything.

“Stay close also puts it under pressure to serve it,” Tomljanovic said. “In the first round, even if you are Coco, it’s never easy.”

That skating could have been too much for I’m looking for Gauff. Instead, she set up firmly, moved back, then managed to serve it on another chance to do so, almost three hours after the competition started.

“I had so many chances. I was like it was like in the end, one of them would go on the way,” she said.

Gauff, who won the first two Grand Slam titles in the United States, opened as a teenager, added Gavine Macmillan to his coaching team, before the start of this tournament. Macmillan is a biomechanical expert who helped the current world no. 1 Arina Sabalenka She set up again a spare several years ago, and he was in the first row of Gauff’s guest box, sitting in front of his mother.

After the beating Tomljanovic, Gauff called his practices with Macmillan “I really claim” and “mentally exhausting.”

“Practice exercise was hard because I spent a lot of time on the court literally serving as long as my shoulder hurts,” Gauff said. “Yes, it’s just hard. I feel like it’s in the right direction and I think it’s trying to don’t get back to the old habits, and I think I did it today, especially in the third set.”

The problem for Gauff recently briefly, was a tendency to accumulate double mistakes. Its 320 entries to open US were mostly on the women’s tour of this season – and more than 100 more than anyone else. It is included in one match in one match this month, then next time.

Tuesday, while dealing with work during the setup movement, Gauff started with many slower offers than it was capable of getting stuck. As the match progressed, and the tension increased, the 21-year-old from Florida has been grown in the first set of only 88 mph at the first set, at 97 mph, in the second and 101 in third place, when it was closed in the third within 101 years. She launched one at 117 mph and even produced one second.

“It’s a new movement,” she said. “At Times I Do It Well, and at the Do It Well – or When I Do It, It’s Always A Good Result. It’s Just Reminding Myself How to do It. But Obviously There Are So Many Things Going In My Head At Those Tough Moments And Not Just Thinking about the serve. I’m thinking about how to play out the point, where to serve, what she sha’s going to do.

“Yes, it’s hard, but I think I just have to remember how I felt in moments today and tried to use it on the next match.”

What won the match on Tuesday against 79. Ranked Tomljanović, the most famous Australian defeat that won Serena Williams In 2022. year opened in 23 times the final match of the main champion, was Gauff’s sample court covering and great backhand. Appropriately, down-line backhand converted point of match and Gauff waved his hands above his head to raise the audience.

Even if Tomljanovic swung his big forhed, it was Gauff who got the best of his long exchange from the base line.

She also declared well when she pressed forward, beat 12 of 15 points, she ended up online, including one with a jump, overhead, winner of the volleyball on the third set.

This is the first match of Gauff in the picture because he stumbled on the exit to the first round in Vimbledon in July, the flag accompanied by his Open French Championship in June.

While Gauff moves it forward on rinse meadows, there is a chance that Sabalenka and no. 2 Iga Sviajtek In ranking and rise for the first time to no. 1.
