Being one of the best in the world at just 20 years old is an amazing achievement. Cori Gauff shows great maturity in pursuing a new feat in her career, facing with excitement and responsibility the task of defending the title she won last year. She is already in the round of 16 of the US Open 2024, and her words deserve attention.

Much is said about records of precocity in past times and the difficulty for young talents to emerge strongly and break into the elite abruptly. Cori Gauff has achieved this at just 20 years old, being a Grand Slam champion and firmly established among the world's best. This US Open 2024 is a great test for her, but she is already in the round of 16 and embodies a philosophy that predicts great success for her.

"I don't feel any different pressure than in any other tournament. It's true that the week before, I experienced nervous situations, but as soon as the tournament started, my mental state is completely different. I want to take it match by match, I know I'm still far from my goal, but what I won't do is impose on myself the obligation to win this tournament. It gives me a lot of confidence to know that I was able to be a champion here and I consider myself a better player than last year. My feeling is that last year I won without playing my best tennis, now I see myself much better," she concluded.

- Gauff keeps a personal diary and reads the Bible every night

Her victory against Svitolina strengthens the aspirations of a Cori Gauff who revealed an interesting routine. "This match has been the best I have played on hard court in the past year. Overcoming this tough test boosts my confidence and will make me a more challenging player for my opponents," she said before discussing her readings. "Every night I read the Bible and I have a personal diary where I write down my feelings. The most important thing in life for me is to learn from my mistakes, but not regret anything I do," concluded the defending champion at the US Open 2024.
