She was having such trouble, especially on the forehand side, to the point where the World number two was seen pleading with her box to advise her.“It’s also awkward at Wimbledon because the player boxes are right next to each other on Centre Court, “ Sam Querrey said. “So what is Brad going to lean over and say keep hitting the ball high to Emma’s backhand? But then Emma’s coach [can hear].”Gauff was the favourite for many to lift the Wimbledon title before her shock defeat to Navarro.
As two-time US Open champion Tracy Austin pointed out on the BBC, Gauff, who already struggles on the forehand side, faces even more challenges with that shot on grass, where the ball bounces lower.
She will now switch to the clay where the Paris Olympics tennis tournament will be held, where Gauff will become an Olympian for the first time.
