Coco Gauff Talks Wimbledon Loss, Says She Was 'Overwhelmed' After Roland-Garros Win

Coco Gauff was stunningly eliminated during Wimbledon's opening round on Tuesday, falling to Ukraine's Dayana Yastremska, 7-6, 6-1.

After the upset, Gauff—the No. 2 seed in the tournament—spoke about the fast turnaround between her French Open triumph three weeks ago and the start of Wimbledon, and how it affected her preparations.

"I feel like mentally I was a little bit overwhelmed with everything that came afterwards, so I didn't feel like I had enough time to celebrate and also get back into it," she told reporters.

The 21-year-old has already won the French Open and U.S. Open and is one of the sport's ascendant young stars, but she has yet to get past the fourth round at Wimbledon during her career and found herself quickly battling against Yastremska.

"Dayana started off playing strong," Gauff told reporters. "I couldn't find my footing out there today."

The transition from the clay of Roland-Garros to the grass of All England Club has befuddled plenty of women before Gauff. The last player in the women's game to win the French Open and Wimbledon in the same year was Serena Williams back in 2015 (she also pulled off the feat in 2002).

The other women to accomplish the feat were Steffi Graf (1996), Chris Evert (1974), Billie Jean King (1972), Evonne Goolagong Cawley (1971) and Margaret Court (1970). 

While Goff's struggles continued at Wimbledon, Yastremska recently reached a final at Nottingham on grass and is growing more and more comfortable on the surface.

"I love playing on grass. I feel that this year we are kind of friends," she told reporters after Tuesday's win. "I hope the road will continue for me here."
