Emotionally, I'm in a tough place," Gauff shares after her loss to Osaka at the US Open

Coco Gauff was eliminated in the round of 16 at the US Open by Naomi Osaka, a disappointment for the American who had triumphed in New York in 2023.

In a press conference, she admitted to being disappointed because this result did not meet her expectations: "It was a strange match because I think I was serving much better than in previous matches, but I made too many errors from the baseline.

Emotionally, I'm in a tough place. Of course, I'm disappointed to have lost here, but I feel like I'm on the right track. I need to be more positive.

I broke down with my team in the locker room, but they made me realize that I've made progress. I didn't expect to win only three matches here—maybe that's why I'm more frustrated, because I had raised my own expectations.
