"I can relate to the expectations Coco has long faced": Tracy Austin marvels at how Coco Gauff handled US Open burden
WTASaturday, 02 December 2023 at 07:00
Former world number one Tracy Austin expressed admiration for America’s Coco Gauff after her triumph at the US Open.
The 19-year-old is regarded as the most highly-rated player currently playing in the women’s singles category. Gauff ended up living to the hype and expectations as she lifted the US Open on home soil after beating the current world number two Belarus’ Aryna Sabalenka in the final with a score of 2-6, 6-3, 6-2.
Austin was recently quoted in a report where she stated how she could relate to what Gauff had to go through at the US Open with all the expectations from the fans.
“A tough first-round loss at Wimbledon motivated her to make a change, adding the highly experienced Brad Gilbert to her coaching team,” she said. “She then had a turnaround summer, winning titles in D.C. and Cincinnati—and arrived in New York with justifiably high hopes. Every time Coco played, the American crowd was heavily in her corner. And every time, Coco competed like a champion.
“There was that tricky opener versus crafty Laura Siegemund. Later, Coco’s semifinal was delayed when a protestor glued his feet to the ground. And then, in the finals, Coco lost the first set against a red-hot Aryna Sabalenka. With lots of celebrities and millions cheering her on, Coco problem-solved her way to the title.”
