Australia’s
Daria Saville has received some support from
America’s
Coco Gauff after going through a tough phase. The 31-year-old shared
an emotional post on the social media platform Instagram with a caption: “anything
but winning some matches”.
In response to that, Saville received support from Gauff. "Hard
times don't last forever. You got this! Already have a very successful career
and a lot to be proud of and a lot more that you will do on and off court that
you will be proud of. Stay strong,” she wrote. Saville ended up responding by: "Thank
you Coco".

nationality to Australia, has been knocked out in the first round or qualifying
round 11 times this year. Overall, she has played in 14 events in 2025 but has failed
