New York – Coco goffThe first match since listing someone to help with her volatile service for a rocky start at the US Open on Tuesday night. He double-faced-and total 10 times in the first game. She also broke into that game, and a total of six times.
The only number that was actually counted at the end was of course, Arthur Ash Stadium was on the scoreboard, and those people showed that the number 3-seded cowoff 6-4, 6-7 (2), was held to win the 7-5 victory. Ajla tomaljanovic To reach the second round in flushing meadows.
“It was not the best,” Goff said. “But I am happy to get through.”
Nothing came easily. Gauf could not eliminate things under the leadership of a break in the second set twice. She rose 5-3 in the third and served to win at 5-4, but doubled twice and recalled a pair of forehands to make 5-all.
Tomaljanovic said, “Staying closer also puts him under pressure to serve it out.” “In the first round, even if you are cocoa, it is never easy.”
This slipup could have been too much to take for cowof. Instead, he stabilized himself, broke back right, then was able to exclude it on his second occasion of doing so, about three hours after the competition began.
“I had a lot of opportunities. … I was just like,” finally, one of them is going to go in my way, “he said.
Gauf, who won the first of her two Grand Slam titles as a teenager at the 2023 US Open, added Gavin McMillan to her coaching team shortly before the start of the tournament. McMillan is a biomechanics specialist who helped the current World No. 1 Aryana Sabalanka Rate his service a few years ago, and he was in the first line of the goff’s guest box, sitting in front of his mother.
After beating Tomaljanovic, Goff called her practices “really hard” and “mentally tedious” with Macmillan.
“Practice week was hard because I was spending a lot of time in court, really serving, like, my shoulder was hurting,” Goff said. “Yes, it’s just difficult. I think it’s in the right direction, and I think it is trying to not go back to old habits for me in those hard moments, and I think I did it today, especially in the third set.”
Recently there has been a tendency to accumulate dual defects, briefly, for the goff. Their 320 entering the US Open were the highest on women’s visit this season – and more than 100 compared to someone else. It included 23 in a match earlier this month, then 14 out next time.

As the match progressed and tension increased, Florida’s 21-year-old man returned to his customary pace, the first set was just 88 miles per hour on the first set, 97 miles per hour in the second and 101 in the third, when Ash’s withdrawal roof was closed. He crank a one at 117 mph and even a second-servant of ace.
“This is a new speed,” he said. “Many times I do it well, and sometimes not so well. When I do it well – or when I do it, it is always a good result. It is just reminding itself of how to do it. But obviously in those difficult moments, my head has a lot of things going on in my head and not just thinking about service. I am thinking about how to play, what to do.
“Yes, it’s difficult, but I think for me I just have to remember how I felt in today’s moments and tried to use it in the next match.”
