Coco Gauff is keeping it real after a tough first-round loss at Wimbledon.

She said:

“I feel like mentally I was a little bit overwhelmed with everything that came afterwards. So, I didn’t feel like I had enough time to celebrate and also get back into it.”

Gauff continued:

“Dayana started off playing strong. I couldn’t find my footing out there today.”

She finished the match with 29 unforced errors, including nine double-faults, and lost 7-6, 6-1.
