"She’s the only one I haven’t beaten": Gauff admits Swiatek is hardest player to face on WTA Tour
WTAThursday, 20 April 2023 at 13:00
Coco Gauff has never beaten Iga Swiatek on the WTA Tour before and for her she's the toughest player to beat out of all of them she's faced so far.
Gauff has been beating players pretty much from the moment she stepped on a tennis court yet there is no player she's yet to beat.
Most of her matches against Swiatek have also been quite decisive wins for the Polish player and it's just a match-up that gives her a lot of trouble every time. She admitted that in Stuttgart when asked which player is the toughest to play:
“Right now, head-to-head, definitely Iga. I haven’t beaten her. I would say she is the biggest. Pretty much everybody else I’ve gotten some wins over. Everyone in the top 10 I think I have played, and maybe won and lost to, except Iga. I think she’s the only one I haven’t beaten.”

Speaking about her tennis Gauff admitted that she's likely never to be able to hit somebody off the court but she can pick her spots and be very tactical about it:
“I don’t think I will ever be like (Elena) Rybakina who can really literally hit someone off the court. I think more the way I want to play is being aggressive on the right shots. I think the tiebreaker [against Kudermetova] I did really well in that.
"A lot of the shots I hit were kind of close to the line, but I think those are the shots that I know I can make. I missed a couple of those earlier in the match, but it’s the fact that I went for them, I think that’s when I made them when I needed to."
