“I’m really happy with how I played. The score says different. She’s a tough player. She hits the ball big. I’ve known her since I was like 8 years old. Our first time ever playing juniors or pros. Hopefully we can have many more matches in the future,” 19-year-old Gauff said at the post-match interaction.
