Former world number one Lindsay Davenport spoke about Coco Gauff and while her WTA Finals experience was so disappointing.
Many expected great things from Coco Gauff in Forth Worth at the WTA Finals. It was the first WTA Finals she played in her career and Davenport thinks that played a part in why she lost all three of her singles and all three of her doubles matches:
“It’s the first season that Coco Gauff is not under the age of eligibility. She’s played over 20 tournaments, she’s looked exhausted. She’s kind of looked the same and Guadalajara, and I think for a player that was such a great junior, it’s been so fun to get to the top. But also, you’re normally, you don’t take five losses in a row."
She added:
"Yeah, two in Guadalajara with the singles and the doubles. And then you start here with losing two doubles and the other singles, I think it’s a lot for her. She goes back, she’s only 18. Let her have some fun, and we want to see her playing with a smile."
