Error-ridden Gauff frustrated by performance

Beaten Coco Gauff blamed “too many errors on forehand and backhand” after the surprise defeat to Sofia Kenin on day one of Wimbledon.

No.7 ranked Gauff, who lost 4-6 6-4 2-6′ knew it was going to be tough and was frustrated and disappointed at the result.

“Right now I’m very frustrated and disappointed,” she said.

“So, yeah, I think it makes me want to work even harder. I feel like I have been working hard, but clearly it’s not enough.

“I have to go back to the drawing board and see where I need to improve and how to do the right drills to do that.

“I knew it was going to be a tough first round for me. I tried my best, but it wasn’t enough. I think I have a lot to work on if I want to improve from this.”
