10 doubles fautes, 59 fautes directes... mais une qualification pour le deuxième tour de l'US Open. Coco Gauff retiendra sans doute seulement sa victoire contre la dangereuse Ajla Tomljanovic, mardi soir. L'Américaine, titrée à Roland-Garros, est en difficulté depuis, en particulier au service. Elle a donc décidé de se séparer de son entraineur, Matt Daly, une semaine avant le début de l'US Open, remplacé par un certain Gavin MacMillan, expert en biomécanique. Ce dernier avait permis à Aryna Sabalenka de passer d'un service catastrophique à l'un des meilleurs au monde. Gauff est loin du compte mais le process ne fait que démarrer, comme elle l'a expliqué en conférence de presse.

00:00Yeah, honestly, in that third set was the definition of that.
00:07Like that game where I served at 5'4", that was definitely like an old habit.
00:11And the next game was a lot better.
00:14And yeah, I think, you know, the more I get confident, the more I can go for it.
00:17Like, I don't think I served so fast today.
00:20I would like to get up there in the numbers, but I know I have to get a lot of reps in.
00:25And, you know, Isla played great.
00:26I feel like, you know, if it was maybe another player, it would be a much more straightforward match.
00:31But I feel like we had so many long rallies and things like that.
00:35I don't think she missed too many returns.
00:37So, yeah, it's definitely tough going through the match and battling that inner internal battle,
00:42especially this is the first tournament.
00:44I wish that this, you know, universe happens how it is.
00:47But I wish I could have done this maybe in Montreal.
00:50But, you know, it is what it is.
00:51And yeah.
00:53Okay, go Howard, Simon, Ben.
00:55Howard.
00:56On the serve, the idea of what you're working on with Gavin,
01:04how much of it has to do with the approach versus the, like, physical mechanics of the serving?
01:12And also, you mentioned that 5-4 game.
01:15After what happened there, what was it like for you to step out there at 6-5 in the third?
01:21Yeah, no, I think it's all mechanics.
01:25The approach is, you know, the approach, I mean, people have told me different, certain things.
01:31And like now it actually makes sense.
01:34And now it's just really trusting that new motion in those moments.
01:38And yeah, basically I told myself at 6-5, I was like, okay, I can't, I have to trust what the work we did on court.
01:45And that's what I did at that game.
01:47And yeah, it's a, like, it's a new motion.
01:52And at times I can do it, I do it well.
01:55And at times not so well.
01:56But when I do it well, or when I do it, it's always a good result.
02:00It's just reminding myself how to do it.
02:03But obviously there's so many things going in my head at those tough moments.
02:07I'm not just thinking about the serve.
02:08I'm thinking about, you know, how to play out the point, where to serve, what she's going to do.
02:13So yeah, it's tough.
02:14But I think for me, I just have to remember how I felt in the moments today and try to use that in the next match.
02:22Simon?
02:23Sorry for another serve question, Coco.
02:24But when you're learning something like this, is it a bit like learning a new language?
02:29Is it popping in your head at night?
02:30Are you seeing things?
02:32Yeah, no, yeah.
02:33I mean, it's, yeah, it's definitely like, yeah, it's like learning a new language, honestly.
02:40Even like looking at tag posts of me and like sending me and Gavin, sending each other things back and forth.
02:46Like, oh, like this picture looks good.
02:49This one doesn't look as good.
02:52And yeah, I think for me, I'm trying to not become as obsessed with it.
02:56But it is a bit because I know that this is the part of my game that needs to improve.
03:00If I want to get the results that I want to, that I want to receive.
03:04And yeah, I'm someone that I'm not making any excuses.
03:08It's not a mental thing.
03:10It's a biomechanical thing that I had wrong.
03:12And I'm just trying my best to get it right.
