GAUFF – on the victory over Sviontek: “I didn’t want anything like Monfils and Djokovic”
American tennis player Corey Gauff He admitted that he was very happy when he finally surpassed polka Iga Sviontek for the eighth time.
“Feelings are good. To be honest, I don’t know, maybe I was thinking too far ahead. No offense to Gael but I didn’t want a record like the score (19-0) in the match between Djokovic and Monfils.
I try to minimize this difference as much as possible. I hope I can meet him once again and improve my performance (smiles). But the feeling is very good. I think my ability gives me confidence. After all, he is a four-time Grand Slam champion, the world’s first racket. It shows that I can be at that level, or at least compete with it.
I’m sure I will play with him many more times. Maybe I won’t win every time, but I think this win shows that I have the ability to do it. I still believe I haven’t reached the top of my game,” said Gauff.
In the final of the tournament in Cincinnati, the American will face Karolina Muchova from the Czech Republic.
