“It was an incredible match. Gauff is a great player and we always have tough battles. The main thing for me was to be able to stay focused, whatever the circumstances. Whatever the score, I continued to fight. beat and I tried to use everything. Of course, I am happy that I was able to reach another Grand Slam final and I hope that this time I can do a little better than last time.
In the 2023 US Open final, I played a little passively and didn’t put as much pressure on Gauff. In the first set, I pressed, then slowed down and tried long rallies, which didn’t work very well. Throughout the pre-season, I actively worked on my shots approaching the net in order to complete the rallies. I am very happy that I was able to implement this on the ground today. I think that’s the difference between the two matches,” Sabalenka commented at a press conference.
