Coco Goff may be less than its expectations at the Italian Open, but the 21-year-old Americans are deciding their eyes on a large award-Rolland Garos. After surprisingly a semi -final defeat for Jasmine Paolini of Italy, Goff admitted a little disappointed with the result, but she is far from being discouraged.
“I have enjoyed this, obviously, two results I am just a little disappointed,” Gauf said during that Press conference After defeat. “But you know, overall, I have a lot of confidence in Rolland Garos, and hopefully I can get the final there and then really win it,” Goff said with laughter. “But yes, I think I saw Danielle said something ‘It is better to lose in the final compared to the first round’, so yes, I can agree with it,” he said.

With this victory, Polini moved to the top 4 of the WTA rankings on Monday. This also means that IGA Swiatek will not be placed in the top 4 in Rolland Garos. However, Coco Goff seemed to reduce the importance of sowing in the Grand Slam and said that the depth in the WTA tour ensures quality opponents in every round.
“Seeding- I mean, it clearly helps when you are highly seeded, but I mean, in these grand slam, it really helps for the first couple round, but you know, once you are in the quarter, or perhaps even in the fourth round, it’s in a way, because you want to play great players, and if you want to win that big trophy, then you want to be a big trophy, then you want to be a big trophy. Are, “Gauf said.

“So yes, so it helps you so that you probably do not play anyone like a high rank in the first round. But I mean the depth on the tour, now there are many people who will be unheard of who are definitely dangerous players, so I really don’t take any attention to it,” he said.
With Jasmine Paolini’s win in Rome, it is difficult for Rolland Garos to choose a WTA favorite this year. Hopefully, two big finals in the last few weeks give Gauf confident to target the title in Paris.
