Twelve days after winning her second Grand Slam title at the French Open, Coco Gauff fell at the first hurdle on grass in Berlin on Thursday to Chinese qualifier Wang Xinyu.
Recipient of a first round bye, the American World No. 2 lost 6-3, 6-3 to her 49th-ranked opponent.
Winner of 10 main tour titles, including the US Open (2023) and WTA Finals (2024), Gauff has yet to lift a trophy on a grass court.
“After I won the first set, I told myself, ‘Ok, let’s take a minute and enjoy this. I’m playing the French Open champion and I won the first set. No matter how the second and third go, I was like, Let’s enjoy it for once second. It was a tough match, but I’m happy I hung in,” said Wang.
