Coco Gauff슬롯사이트™s Serving Struggles at US Open 2024 Give Way to Stronger Play in Second Round Win Over Tatjana Maria

Mumbai, August 29: After serving poorly for one set during a U.S. Open victory, Coco Gauff headed to a practice court for some extra work on that stroke Wednesday night. She realized her tosses were too far in front of her and too low, so even if she beat 99th-ranked Tatjana Maria 6-4, 6-0 to reach the third round, Gauff wanted to fix the issue.

슬롯사이트œI didn't serve great at all,슬롯사이트� Gauff said after stretching her winning streak to nine matches at the site of her first Grand Slam title a year ago. 슬롯사이트œI got lucky. I think I only got broken once, but probably could have 슬롯사이트� should have 슬롯사이트� gotten broken a couple of more times.슬롯사이트�

Gauff, a 20-year-old from Florida, had all sorts of trouble at the outset under the lights at a hot and muggy Arthur Ashe Stadium against Maria, a 37-year-old from Germany who made it to the Wimbledon semifinals two years ago and was hitting slices on nearly every forehand and backhand.

슬롯사이트œI love Tatjana ... (but) she's very annoying to play. Tonight was just an annoying match. The balls, you were able to hit winners on them, but because she's slicing it, you have to generate all the power,슬롯사이트� Gauff said. 슬롯사이트œSometimes it can be more physically tiring than it looks, because you have to generate literally 100% of the power every single time, compared to maybe somebody where you can just redirect.슬롯사이트�

There were seven double-faults for Gauff in the initial set. She put in fewer than half of her first serves. She faced five break points, saving four. Problems arose in other aspects of her play, too, including winning the point on just 9 of 17 trips to the net, and a total of twice as many unforced errors, 20, as winners, 10. Her body language was frequently negative as can be after some of the mistakes. Gauff would look at her guest box and put her palms up as if to say,

슬롯사이트œWhat is going on?슬롯사이트� She would roll her eyes or put a hand on a hip, including after one wild swinging volley that sailed several feet long.

When the No. 3-seeded Gauff served for the opening set, she double-faulted twice and faced a pair of break points that would have allowed Maria to get the score to 5-all. But Maria missed a forehand on the first, and Gauff struck a cross-court forehand passing shot on the second, then finished off the game.

The second set was a completely different story. Gauff put together 15 winners to merely five unforced errors 슬롯사이트� two of which were double-faults 슬롯사이트� and went 10 for 11 at the net.

슬롯사이트œShe's a mentally really strong player. She has a lot of power. I knew that I had my chances today, because I know that my game style is not one she prefers. I had my chances in the first set that I didn't take. This kind of player 슬롯사이트� if you don't take your chances, then it goes away. This is what happened today.슬롯사이트�슬롯 머신 사이트 추천said Maria, whose two daughters, ages 10 and 3, sat in the stands.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천N Sriram Balaji and Yuki Bhambri Move to US Open 2024 Second Round With Respective Partners.

On Friday, Gauff will take on 27th-seeded Elina Svitolina, a three-time major semifinalist who was a 6-1, 6-2 winner against Anhelina Kalinina, for a berth in the fourth round. Gauff arrived in New York off a series of early exits elsewhere. That included two consecutive losses at hard-court tuneup events this month, which followed eliminations in the fourth round at Wimbledon and the third round of the Paris Olympics, both in July.

슬롯사이트œIt's been a tough few weeks,슬롯사이트� Gauff said.

Perhaps. But the coming days could be a lot better if she plays more like she did in the second set Wednesday than in the first.
