She added, “I want to play in the Olympics, so I need to find a partner for that.” Apart from the general dislike, Gauff opened up about other things that she dislikes about mixed doubles. She stated, “I don’t like being aced that many times.” Mentioning a second thing, she stated, “Also when the guy is too nice to the girl, I hate that, too.”
