When asked if it helped her move past the defeat, the American responded: “Yeah, definitely. I think for me, I know myself, and I don’t want to lash out on my team. They’re good people. They don’t deserve that, and I know I’m emotional.<\/p>\n
“So, yeah, I just took the minute to go and do that. Yeah, I don’t think it’s a bad thing. Like I said, I don’t try to do it on court in front of kids and things like that, but I do know I need to let out that emotion. Otherwise, I’m just going to be snappy with the people around me, and I don’t want to do that, because like I said, they don’t deserve it. They did their best. I did mine. Just need to let the frustration out.”<\/p>\n
Gauff is recognised for her ability to fight back and extricate herself from difficult situations. However, she failed to bounce back after Svitolina took an early lead and couldn’t elevate her game. “I mean, like, mid-second set, I feel like sometimes you lose a set 6-1, and it’s like, Okay, whatever, reset,” she elaborated.<\/p>\n
“Then 3-0, I was glad to get that game. I don’t know. I just felt like all the things I do well, I just wasn’t doing well today. The backhand wasn’t firing. Forehand wasn’t really firing. Returns. There was just a lot that didn’t go well today.<\/p>\n
“I credit it to her because she forced me to play like that. It’s not like I just woke up and, yeah, today was a bad day, but bad days are often caused by your opponent. So she did well. Yeah, usually I’m able to kind of scrap out at least to make the scoreline tighter, and then you never know, nerves can come up on her, something like that. Today I just wasn’t able to do that.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
