After the match, Gauff spoke about what gave her enough power to finish the match in the third set and set up a second-round clash against Katie Boulter. If she will succeed against the British player, she can possibly face Naomi Osaka in the third round again.

"It was definitely a challenging match I feel like for both of us," said Gauff. "This (second) tiebreak, I was just focused on making her play. All the training I did in the off-season meant that I could go three tough sets."
