“After surprise defeat”Coco Gauff has decided what she will do differently at Wimbledon next year
Coco Gauff won’t be repeating her recent heroics by winning Wimbledon as she exited the competition on day two at the first round stage.
The American was stunned by the Ukrainian player Dayana Yastremska in straight sets to join compatriot Jessica Pegula in exiting the tournament.
A teary Gauff gave an emotional interview after losing at Wimbledon, and now she will need to regroup and reset ahead of the US Open next month.
At 21-years-old, there is plenty of time for Gauff, and after winning the French Open last month, she has to take a lot of heart from her recent form.

Coco Gauff has already decided what she will do at Wimbledon next year
It’s fair to say that SW19 will miss Gauff for the next fortnight, with one of the game’s poster girls a huge hit with tennis fans.
However, Gauff did make some philosophical claims after her defeat, and it would appear that she’s already made up her mind what she will do ahead of Wimbledon next year.
She said in her press conference: “I would say whether I would play Berlin or not again, if that were to happen again with the French Open. Because I only practised for two days. I don’t know. I just feel like this surface I could’ve used more matches, maybe.”

“It’s like finding the puzzle. I don’t usually like to play the week before. It’s a quick turnaround. Trying to learn if it’s better to train more and then play Bad Homburg or Eastbourne. If that time comes around again, I’ll approach it differently.”
“I don’t think it was all that, either. Dayana played great. I felt like I wasn’t playing terribly in some points, and she was hitting winners. It’s a combination of everything. This tournament for me is also based on my first-round match and my draw. Having someone who can strike the ball as well as she can is definitely difficult coming in.”
Gauff can benefit from early Wimbledon exit
The tennis schedule is extremely demanding, especially around this time.
As a result, Gauff might feel that this defeat can actually be a blessing in disguise, with the player now having ample time to prepare for her home Grand Slam in the United States.

Gauff is a former US Open champion and knows that she has what it takes to win the event, which takes place at Flushing Meadows.
After a few days of rest and recuperation, Gauff can regroup with her team and start practising on the hard courts, ready for the final Grand Slam of the year.
Gauff simply hates losing, but at least she has no doubt in her mind as to what she will do next year when Wimbledon comes around.
