Coco Gauff Cites Medvedev After Consecutive Final Losses

World number three Coco Gauff reflected on her recent performance, specifically mentioning her consecutive defeats in two major finals. In Madrid, she lost to Aryna Sabalenka with a score of 3/6, 6/7(3), and in Rome, she was defeated by Jasmine Paolini with a score of 4/6, 2/6.

Gauff expressed her feelings about these results in a video for the WTA. She said, “Of course, I am very upset about these results. But overall, I am approaching Roland Garros with great confidence. I hope to reach the final and win there.” She added, “I think I heard Medvedev say that it`s better to lose in the final than in the first round.”
