The scoreboard tells the whole story: 5-7, 6-0, 6-4. When considering that in the third set she started 0-3 down, it's clear that it wasn't the most stable match of Cori Gauff's career. And yet she won, coming back against Solana Sierra and showing her competitiveness. Once she advanced to the round of 16 at the WTA 1000 in Rome, the American explained her situation in the press room.

"It's been a tough day for me, one of those where you don't feel well but you have to play a match. Today, I wasn't motivated to step on the court, but once you're in there, that's when you get motivated. It was frustrating [...] It's purely mental, personal things off the court that I'm trying to overcome. What I regret the most today is not enjoying the battle on the court," assessed the world No. 4.

This news is an automatic translation. You can read the original news, Gauff: “Hoy no me sentía motivada por entrar a pista, estoy tratando de superar unos asuntos personales”
