Gauff was knocked out of the US Open fourth round against fellow American and 13th seed Emma Navarro 6-3 4-6 6-3. After winning the grand slam in 2023, the 20-year-old had hoped to follow up with another slam success this year, but ends the season without.
This comes after reaching the semi-finals of the Australian Open and French Open, before being eliminated in the fourth round of both Wimbledon and the US Open.
Gauff struggled with her serve against Navarro, making only 46% of her first serves and hitting 19 double faults. Speaking after her defeat, Gauff said: “I fought really hard today. I just didn’t take care of my serve, so that was the biggest difference.
“Mentally and emotionally I gave it my all. Of course, there were things execution-wise, where I wish I could serve better.
