US Open 2021: Coco Gauff says she had to overcome 'home slam nervousness' to win

India TV News  

World No.21 seed Coco Gauff said that she suffered from 'home Grand Slam blues' as the American teenage tennis player triumphed in a thriller on Louis Armstrong Stadium at the US Open on Tuesday, outlasting Magda Linette of Poland, 5-7, 6-3, 6-4 to reach the second round. "I was definitely very nervous coming into today's match just because it's a first round in your home Slam," Gauff said after the win. 2016 US Open champion Angelique Kerber also pulled off a stunning comeback to win her first-round match, as the German overcame Dayana Yastremska of Ukraine, 3-6, 6-4, 7-6. But Kerber was able to grind out an incredible victory this time around in nearly two-and-a-half hours, spoiling Yastremska's first Grand Slam match since the 2020 French Open.
