At least I win, even if part of my game is handicapped," Gauff reacts to her victory
Coco Gauff defeated Veronika Kudermetova in Montreal with a score of 4-6, 7-5, 6-2. After committing 23 double faults in the previous round, she reduced that number to 14 this time.
In a press conference, as reported by *Punto de Break*, she stated: "The positive is that I’m winning these matches even though part of my game is literally handicapped.
It’s like if I could stand on both feet, everything would be much easier for me. I take two things from this: I don’t want to lead in this statistic, and I want to improve.
I know I’ll probably never completely eliminate double faults, but if I could reduce them by 2 or 3%, it would drastically change the game and make matches much easier.
The fact that I’m winning matches and finding a way to win despite everything is a positive.
