For one set Monday in her U.S. Open opener, Coco Gauff was in big trouble. But with the crowd at her back, the American hope bounced back.
Gauff was clearly exasperated more than once with how much time Siegemund seemed to be taking between points. In one sequence in the third set, Gauff appeared to ace Siegemund on a first serve, but Siegemund threw up her hands, evidently signifying that she wasn’t ready. Gauff was forced to serve again and voiced her displeasure over that decision to the umpire.“She was going over the time since the first set, and I never said anything,” Gauff said.
“Just, clapping when you miss the first serve, those kinds of things, I have no understanding for it. I was very disappointed. I thought I’d go out there and have a great time on Ashe. I have to say I had not a good time. And that was the audience. “They had no respect for the way that I played. They had no respect for the player that I am,” Laura Siegemund said of the boisterous, pro-Gauff crowd at Arthur Ashe Stadium.
