Tennis fans are skeptical about Coco Gauff’s defense at the US Open and react strongly to Nick Kyrgios’ honest opinion

Defending champion Coco Gauff faced German Tatjana Maria in Round 2 of the 2024 US Open. She won the first set 6-4, but interestingly looked a bit shaky. Although she managed to turn the match in her favor and win 6-4, 6-0, she made some mistakes against the German. Fans were a bit surprised at how Maria (99) made life difficult for her on the court where she won the title last year. Nick Kyrgios recently posted a tweet asking for opinions on Gauff’s difficulties in this match.

He wrote: “Close first set on Ashe between COCO and MARIA – despite her difficulties on the Gauff serve, she managed to get it – what do you all think?“Gauff hit only one ace in this match, but made nine double faults. Numerous fans turned up to express their concern for the 20-year-old American tennis star.

Fans are not too happy with Coco Gauff’s performance so far in the R2 match at the US Open

One of them wrote: “She’s lucky she’s playing with someone who’s not on her level, otherwise she’d be finished.”

The other said: “Gauff’s title defense is in danger if she is not able to string together her first serves consistently.”

Some say she has mental problems: “It’s all about her confidence and she was mentally out of it the whole game.”

“Reminds me of Hsieh Su-wei and Roberta Vinci. It’s maddening for the other player. Luckily Coco Maria seems to have seen through it, even though she didn’t serve well at all,” said the other fan.

Their frustration was clearly expressed in their words. “Low quality statistics,” wrote some
