Gauff and the Double Fault Conundrum
Even though Coco Gauff advanced, though not without difficulty against Danielle Collins, a recurring issue persists in her matches: her double faults.
The American committed 23 double faults against her compatriot, setting a new personal record, surpassing the 21 she made last March against Moyuka Uchijima.
These 23 double faults account for, as reported by the X account *Jeu, Set et Maths*, 43% of her second serves played against Collins.
This represents a significant handicap for Gauff, even though she ultimately won. A handicap the American will need to address in the future if she hopes to continue improving.
