If we look at the top of the WTA 1000 Canada 2025 draw, we will find the name of Cori Gauff. Taking advantage of Sabalenka's absence due to injury, the American will act as the top favorite in the upcoming days at an event where she has reached the quarterfinals three times. She has room to improve that result, although it is true that her recent grass court swing was not the best. Trends suggest that better months are ahead for the world No. 2, but caution will be needed in each round she progresses through. For now, Gauff was the main focus this Saturday in the singles draw ceremony, where the organization took the opportunity to ask her some questions to gauge her mood.

Back in Canada

“I am very happy to be back here in Montreal, hoping to have a good start on hard courts, as this will be my first cement tournament since last March. I had been thinking about returning to this tournament for a while, so my wish is that things go well for me, hopefully I can fulfill that.”

Why play this tournament?

“One of the reasons is that it is a WTA 1000 and it is mandatory to play them (laughs). Seriously, it's a great tournament, so I try not to miss any of these. Obviously, being American, I am very close to home, so it's a very easy, very pleasant trip for me. I always enjoy it a lot here; the people are super affectionate. Also, I really like the change that happens every summer between Toronto and Montreal, it makes you approach the tournaments with a lot of freshness, as if everything were new.”

Roland Garros Champion

“It was a very special moment, a dream title, perhaps also because it is a surface that I have always felt very comfortable on. It's funny because, before Roland Garros, I had only won one title in my entire career on clay and it was in a minor event, a WTA 250. Having a title of this magnitude on clay now means a lot; it means achieving that prize after working very hard throughout that swing, having previously lost the finals in Madrid and Rome. Finally, the third time was the charm, it showed me that I was capable of achieving it, of staying there waiting for the moment to come.”

The challenge of changing surfaces

“The secret lies in all the previous work, both on the court and with my physical trainer in the gym. This on clay still has a very significant effect due to the mobility needed to move well on clay. Tennis forces you to constantly adapt to new situations, so you always have to be prepared for those changes; so now my intention is to repeat the same play and have a good North American swing on cement.”
