‘I don’t take it for granted’ – Gauffpublished at 20:09
Dolehide 1-6 2-6 Gauff
Coco Gauff is talking in her on-court interview, after advancing to the second round:
“I’m
really happy with how I played today. It’s always tough playing a friend like
Caroline and I’m really happy I was able to get through today.
“Last
year I lost in the first round and it was very tough for me, that’s why I am a little emotional
and that’s why I was happy to turn it around.”
On this being her fifth Wimbledon at just the age of 20:
“Wimbledon
is the place – not where the dream started, but where I believed that the dream was possible. I’ve played on a lot of
big courts but every time I play here I feel even more nervous – even more than
in a grand slam final
“There
is something about Centre Court that’s so special. It’s an honour playing here and
I don’t take it for granted.”
