Gauff’s comments were posted on the official website of the Women’s Tennis Association WTA, in which she revealed that the reason for her victory was that she was able to relax into the match.
“This match is not going to change my life. No matter what the result is today, I’m proud. Honestly, the whole match I was proud of myself and how I overcame.” I was just telling myself that I was able to do it, and that I was able to work on what I had been practicing and stick to it.”
“Honestly, if I’ve come this far, I’m happy just to have made it to the final. I think I’m relaxed. My first final was when I was 15 or something, and it was the worst. ‘I’ll never have a chance like this again.’ I thought so, but that’s not the case, because I felt that way in my first Grand Slam final. I’ve won in the past, so it feels great to win. , I’ll wake up tomorrow and it’ll be a different day. Most people in the world won’t know anything about whether I won or lost.”
