Fans were a little disappointed when Caroline Garcia failed to mention Coco Gauff‘s incredible run at the US Open. The 2022 Cincinnati Masters winner is now on a 13-match win streak and will definitely have a challenge when she plays Jabeur in the semis. In the post-match interview, Garcia said, “Every point, every game was really tough. The atmosphere was really American with a lot of energy out there. I’m just very happy with the performance today, to manage the emotion in my game.”
Coco Gauff had an incredible run at her home tournament where she defeated top players like Madison Keys and Elena Ruse among others. In addition to Garcia’s appreciation for the crowd, fans on social media expected a little more admiration for Gauff.
Garcia also spoke about her next opponent Jabeur. She said, “We played semifinal I think in Roland Garros in junior. Other tournament as well in juniors. It was really a challenge for me to play her in junior. She was a rare kind of style. Yeah, a few times she stopped me on my way to get a slam in juniors. It’s a great challenge for my game, for me. I’m really looking forward to it. Try to do the best I can.”
