Gauff makes admission over switching from singles to doubles

Tennis star Coco Gauff has admitted she wishes she could serve like she does in doubles when she plays singles, following her recent win over Danielle Collins.

Gauff, who advanced to the fourth round of the Canadian Open by beating Veronika Kudermetova, served up 23 double faults a round prior against Collins. The 21-year-old, who won the French Open earlier this year to claim the second major of her career, managed to beat Collins 7-5, 4-6, 7-6 (7-2) to advance, with Gauff then defeating Kudermetova on Thursday 4-6, 7-5, 6-2.

She is set to take on Victoria Mboko in the last 16, whilst also competing in the women's doubles alongside McCartney Kessler, having previously played events alongside Jessica Pegula.

Gauff and Kessler booked their place in the last 16 doubles by beating Fanny Stollar and Wu Fang-Hsien, setting up a match-up against Ellen Perez and Lyudmyla Kichenok.

However, speaking after her win over Kudermetova, Gauff revealed she wished she could take her doubles serve and add it to her singles game, due to it feeling as though she has more pressure on her.
