Following her disappointing reversal Gauff surely realised that she needed more input from an experienced coach, if she is to fulfil her potential and carve out the results she desires. She stormed into the final without dropping a single set and was brimming with confidence. Gauff followed up her convincing opening round victory over American Hailey Baptiste by impressively adding the scalps of Swiss star Belinda Bencic and Russia’s defending champion Liudmila Samsonova.
Her more aggressive style and vastly improved forehand shots set the tone for the contest, thumping back returns to unnerve Sakkari’s serves and racing into a 3-0 lead. She admitted on court about the instant impact Gilbert has had: “It’s our first tournament as a full team. I’m glad that we were able to make this result.
