Coco Gauff opens up about her early exit at Wimbledon 2025

Coco Gauff's journey began on July 2, when she competed against Dayana Yastremska in the first round of the 2025 Wimbledon. However, unfortunately, the American's journey ended on the same day after being bested by her opponent in straight sets. Following this, she sat for a press conference, where she was seen in tears, opening up about her loss in the tournament.

Stating that she didn't like losing, Gauff said:

"I’m trying to be positive. After the match I definitely was struggling in the locker room. I don’t like losing. I know my team is gonna tell me 'you did well at Roland Garros. Don’t be so upset.' But I don’t really like losing."

Along with this, Coco Gauff said that she was 'disappointed' with her performance and added:

"I feel a bit disappointed with how I showed up today. I could’ve been a bit better in those tough tiebreaker moments. Especially after Roland Garros where I feel like I learned a lot in those tiebreakers. So yeah. Obviously I’m not gonna dwell on this too long, because I wanna do well at US Open. Maybe losing here first round isn’t the worst thing in the world because I have some time to reset. But yeah it definitely sucks."

Ahead of Wimbledon, Coco Gauff won her career's second Grand Slam title at the French Open after beating Aryna Sabalenka in the finals.
