Moments After Seismic Cincinnati Open Success, Coco Gauff Runs Into Novak Djokovic as Carlos Alcaraz Challenge Awaited the Tennis Legend

Coco Gauff has changed her course this season. After disappointing performances since the start of the season, she won an astounding victory in the Cincinnati Masters. This victory came in addition to the Citi Open win. The American relished her win over her foe and used the gym facility to cool down after the match, where she ran into Novak Djokovic, who was warming up to face Carlos Alcaraz in his next match. 

This was not the only match Gauff played before Djokovic. In her previous bout, the arena was crowded. But Gauff didn’t believe that the tennis fans were there to watch her. She felt that she was the opening act for the following match.

Playing in the final of the Western & Southern Open, Gauff faced Karolina Muchova. Gauff had immense momentum and beat her Czechia opponent 6-3, 6-4 quickly. The American player reveled in her victory as she was all smiles after winning her first Masters title, a much-needed victory for her. After the match, Gauff decided to use the gym facilities of the venue and found herself face-to-face with another finalist. 

Since his match was up next, Gauff met with Novak Djokovic as he warmed up for his final bout. Djokovic faced Carlos Alcaraz later and took his revenge after the Wimbledon defeat. He went on to win the match by winning in three sets and saving one championship point. 

Gauff played her match before the Djoker, a second time in the tournament. Both of them won their matches, but the last time, Gauff jokingly called herself an opening act for the Serbian star.

Gauff jokes about being the opener for Djokovic

As she won her round of 16 against her opponent, Gauff saw there were more spectators than she had imagined. Although she is becoming a favorite of the fans, she did not believe the crowd was there for her. After her win, she addressed the situation jokingly. The American player said that the flurry of the crowd was there to watch the next match between Djokovic and Monfils.

She also mentioned Djokovic’s astounding 23 grand slams and jokingly talked about herself being at zero slams. Gauff jokingly diminished her achievements in comparison to the Serbian’s.  Although she might’ve believed the people weren’t there for her, the final match definitely became crowded because of her presence in the venue.
