Surprised by a young Victoria Mboko knocking at the door, Coco Gauff said goodbye to the WTA Montreal 2025 with a resounding defeat. The American player, number two in the world, was eliminated from the Canadian tournament in the round of 16 against the local promise.

Her previous matches had not been her best, but even so, Coco found a way to survive the different challenges until she met Mboko. Minutes after her elimination, Gauff answered questions about her level in the press conference.

Her loss against Mboko

"She played a great match, that's basically it. She was playing very well, I made a couple of unforced errors, but I knew today would be a tough match. Unfortunately, it didn't go well for me. I knew she would come in with a lot of confidence, and she won her first two rounds easily.

Honestly, I haven't played my best tennis in this tournament, so I knew it would be tough. I don't know, I just felt like I could do better today, but I also knew that if I eased up a bit, she would take advantage of those moments, and she did."

Why haven't you been able to find a good level?

"I was playing well in training these past few weeks, just practicing. I decided to take a break and not play in Washington to focus on this tournament, and maybe it wasn't the right decision. Maybe it was better to play more matches. It's the first hard court tournament of the season, so I hope to find that rhythm in Cincinnati and New York."

Do you see similarities between her and Victoria?

"No, she's a completely different player, a completely different person. I have never compared myself to others, whether it's Serena or Venus, and I don't think it's fair to attribute that to her as well. I do see someone who is going to have a bright future, without a doubt. She's very athletic. Hits the ball very well and shows a lot of positivity on the court."
