Coco Gauff has had a brilliant year this season. She has won some amazing tournaments including her first Grand Slam and made a place in the history of tennis like no one else and at such a young age. Now she will be facing Iga Swiatek in the semifinals of the China Open tournament in Beijing before her fate at the game is decided.

Recently in an interview, Coco Gauff talked about how she has won in a series in the past year and how it has made her feel. Her fans are beyond excited for her future as they know this is just the beginning for her.

While talking about her journey in Beijing at the tournament, Coco Gauff was asked about her consecutive 16 wins at different matches. She won at Washington, Cincinnati, and also the US Open of course. And the media was curious to know how she felt about it.

Answering their question she said as quoted by puntodebreak.com, “If you’re going to win 16 times, they won’t all be easy wins. This is the first time I’ve had a streak, I don’t know how far it will go. I definitely didn’t expect this turn of events after Wimbledon.”

This is in fact true for her fans as well. When she lost at Wimbledon, people were disheartened and even called her success short-lived. But since then, she has only risen and come to a place where there is no going back now. Her wins have truly made her a remarkable player in the world of tennis not just for now, but forever.

Further, she also added that Iga has also won a slam and is a contender for the number 1 spot, just like Coco herself is. She also wants to close the face-to-face competition with her a little more, and that is it.
