Gauff also had five double-faults in her first set, but only one in the second as she significantly tightened up her game. The 10 aces she blasted came at opportune times, especially when Gracheva finessed a pair of break points in the final game. Gauff saved both with aces, while Gracheva didn’t record a single one for the entire match.Coco Gauff reacts after she defeats Varvara Gracheva of France during Day 1 of the US Open Tennis in Queens on August 26, 2024.There was a lot left to be desired regarding Gauff’s game in the first round, but it was still an encouraging start when considering her recent performances.
