Gauff loses the hollows in Osaka, but desires to build for the future – Tennis Now
Coco GofuThe U.S. Open ended at Flushing Meadow Monday afternoon when the 21-year-old fell Naomi Osaka In the fourth round of the game inside Arthur Ashe Stadium. It was a game that failed to meet expectations, as Goff hit 33 uncompulsory mistakes and never saw a breakout point. Goff then admitted that she wasn’t performing enough to meet expectations.
“It’s a disappointing one. Of course, it’s not the level I want to bring, but it’s a step in the right direction, I think there’s a lot this week, I think today I just stepped in and I might be a little empty,” Goff said. “She forced me to win every point there today.”
Despite his failure, Goff remained awake about his journey. She acknowledged her difficulties with her tough swings in the summer while working to address the flaws in her serve and spoke frankly about the pressure of her success as a young man.
“I don’t know. Today, when I was walking on the court, I don’t know, I feel like I put a lot of pressure on myself at 21, and I realize how much my tour has been successful in those 25-26-year-old tours,” she said. “For me, it made me excited to realize that I still have four years of work, just as hard as I am now, and actually doing the right thing like where my game might be.”
Goff has nothing to shame on – she has captured two of the past nine majors and remains one of the smartest young stars in tennis. She did not continue to work with biomechanics expert Gavin Macmillan, instead of resting on the laurels.
“It’s a tough post-method for me,” Gough said. “I know the progress I need to make and I feel like I’ve made the right decision.”
She said she plans to use the rest of the season as a warm-up for the 2026 Australian Open, with little attention to results, mainly to continue to develop her serve. This is given
“I think there’s a lot of positive things to go in this game and I want to be positive in front of you,” she said. “I promise you that I don’t feel that way now, but I won’t let this smash me.”
“I look forward to the future and make more improvements. Yes, I hope I can be a player and a person next year.”
