The recent champion of Roland Garros 2025 comes to London prepared to give absolutely everything. Coco Gauff, the number two in the world, is one of the main contenders for this Wimbledon 2025, a stage where she already made amends with Aryna Sabalenka after the Belarusian's controversial words following the final in Paris.

Gauff talked about this and much more during the Wimbledon Media Day press conference, discussing the incredibly quick transition from clay to grass, how she has processed having a new Grand Slam title in her hands, and her expectations.

"I am someone who can look forward very quickly. In the first two days, I tried to absorb everything. Once I returned from New York, I focused much more here, thinking about what I have to do, what aspects of my game I need to improve. I prefer to stay in the moment and think about it, forget about France and come back to it at the end of the season and celebrate it a little more, because I think at the US Open I could absorb it a little more because it was the last Grand Slam of the year.

I want to do very well here. I feel very secure on the court. It was important for me to forget, which is easy for me because I'm always looking for what's next. I'm usually someone who needs to be told to settle more. I want to get rid of that. When November comes, I will think about it again".

The forgiveness to Sabalenka

"Some criticized what she said in her speech. It didn't bother me at all because I know how it feels. It was a day of terrible conditions. I don't think I played well either, so I understood what she meant. Obviously, some of the things said in the press conference, I think they surprised me a little more.

I'm not a resentful person. I was talking to my circle about it. If she apologized, not even publicly, more than privately, that would be fine, and I would be willing to move forward. She did it, and she did it again when I saw her before training. It's water under the bridge. I know Aryna. I felt that before that, we got along quite well. It wasn't very difficult to accept that apology. Many things have been said. I'm not someone who supports hate and things like that".

The men's finals on Sunday

"It would be really good if the women finished a tournament, but they also have to play three out of five sets. I know that extra day makes a big difference for them. Especially in the Masters/WTA 1000 and such, I think it would be a good idea to change it. That would put women on a bigger platform by having the most talked-about match in a tournament".
