Coco Gauff won the match, despite problems with her serve

  • Gauff won the match in Montreal, despite 23 double faults.
  • The match lasted 2 hours and 55 minutes, with Gauff showing resilience in critical moments.
  • The next opponent for Gauff will be Veronika Kudermetova in the third round.

Coco Gauff returned to competition in Montreal, having secured her first victory since winning the title at the French Open. In the second round, National Bank Open champion Daniel Collins defeated her with a score of 7-5, 4-6, 7-6 (2), despite 23 double faults.

Gauff did not play well at the moment of serving on the U.S. Open, where she also failed to showcase her best game. She tried to change her racket grip during the break, but this led to problems with her serve. During the match, Gauff again demonstrated her strength and resilience, but her serve remained unreliable.

Gauff, who is the first seed in Montreal due to the withdrawal of Aryna Sabalenka, managed to continue competing against Veronika Kudermetova in the third round. After the match, she noted that she feels she could improve her game, especially in her serve, to reduce the length of matches.
