Her early exit in the Grand Slam since losing in Round 1 at Wimbledon two years ago. The American, the champion at Roland Garros last month, struggled after hitting nine double faults and losing 7-6 (3) Dayana Yastremska to Ukrainian-born World No. 42 Dayana Yastremska.<\/p>\n<p>This is what I was wrong.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Goufs_serve_broke\"><\/span>Gouf&#8217;s serve broke<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Golf&#8217;s serve has always been vulnerable, but usually she can find a way to deal with things when it breaks. On Tuesday, even if the roof was closed, he took away the elements issues, but Goff struggled with the rhythm.<\/p>\n<p>The second serve in particular broke, and it got too heavy on my shoulders at once. As Yasternska stood firm at the baseline, the pressure rose. In total, Gauff hit nine double faults and won only 44% of the points on her second serve. Only 45% of her initial services left her vulnerability, and Yasteremska made the most of it.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"inline float-r inline-track\">\n<h2 class=\"img-title\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"ESPN_subscribers_can_take_part_in_winning_a_VIP_trip_to_the_US_Open\"><\/span>ESPN+ subscribers can take part in winning a VIP trip to the US Open!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Let the US open in style!

The Americans had to work very hard to overcome the draw in Paris. And the final was particularly difficult when the wind took a life for both her and Arena Sabalenka.<\/p>\n<p>Ideally, after winning the Grand Slam title, a break would be right, but Gouf had little time to recover mentally. She lost her only warm-up match in Berlin &#8211; against her opponent who hit hard on the flats, she realized what she wanted. The fact that she only hit six winners tells her own story. The fight was not there.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I didn&#8217;t feel like I had enough time to celebrate, mentally, because I felt a bit overwhelmed by everything that came later,&#8221; Gouf said Tuesday after the game. &#8220;But this is the first time I&#8217;ve had to play Wimbledon with a victory. I definitely didn&#8217;t.&#8221;<\/p>\n<aside class=\"inline inline-photo full\">\n<figure><picture><source data-srcset=\"https:\/\/a.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2025%2F0701%2Fr1513698_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg&amp;w=570&amp;format=jpg, https:\/\/a.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2025%2F0701%2Fr1513698_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg&amp;w=1140&amp;cquality=40&amp;format=jpg 2x\" media=\"(min-width: 376px)\"><source data-srcset=\"https:\/\/a.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2025%2F0701%2Fr1513698_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg&amp;w=375, https:\/\/a.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2025%2F0701%2Fr1513698_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg&amp;w=750&amp;cquality=40&amp;format=jpg 2x\" media=\"(max-width: 375px)\"><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/figure>\n<\/aside>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Yasteremska_is_just_as_tough_as_Gauff_faced\"><\/span>Yasteremska is just as tough as Gauff faced.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Ranked 42nd, Yasteremska was not far from the sowing location. The Ukrainians reached the final in Nottingham and created a lodging in Eastbourne.
