Miami Open 2025: Coco Gauff heads home after her 21st birthday and a bit of a rough patch

The Hindu  

Coco Gauff shrugged her right shoulder and chuckled a bit on Monday at the notion that she seems to illicit concern from others when she goes through a two or three-match losing streak — a rough patch in the course of a long season. “Sometimes when I don’t do well, people think there’s something personally wrong with me,” Gauff said on the eve of the Miami Open, where the women begin main-draw play on Tuesday and the men get started on Wednesday. “I’m also in the middle of changes in my game; it’s been difficult.” She’s spoken frequently about those switches, which began with adjusting her coaching staff after last year’s U.S. Open and also included adapting her serve — with a particular eye on shoring up second serves so as to avoid double-fault issues — and her forehand. The American’s most recent match was a three-set loss to Tokyo Olympics gold medalist Belinda Bencic at Indian Wells, California, in the fourth round last week. “I felt like she was more tense,” Bencic said about Gauff, “so I felt like that was the right time to go for her forehand.” Gauff called the event held over the next two weeks at the stadium used by the NFL’s Miami Dolphins as her “home tournament.” She’s 6-5 in Miami and has not made it beyond the fourth round there.
