“I hope that she continues well in the tournament now that I’m out,” Gauff smiled. “I hope she wins it.” theSun theSundaily tennis Gauff Latvia AustralianOpen
Coco Gauff of the US leaves after a defeat against Latvia’s Jelena Ostapenko after their women’s singles match on day seven of the Australian Open tennis tournament in Melbourne on January 22, 2023. AFPPIX: Coco Gauff broke down in tears during an emotional press conference following her surprise exit from the Australian Open at the last-16 stage on Sunday.
But it all became too much when asked about the frustration she felt during her 7-5, 6-3 fourth-round defeat to Latvia's Jelena Ostapenko, the 2017 French Open champion. “I still feel like I’ve improved a lot. But, you know, when you play a player like her and she plays really well, it’s like there’s nothing you can do.”
Gauff gathered herself to say she would now be supporting her doubles partner Jessica Pegula, who was later playing another former French Open champion, Barbora Krejcikova, for a place in the last eight.
