Gauff set to return to action after winning the US Open
After taking some time off, Gauff is set to play again at next week’s China Open in Beijing. In the Chinese capital, Gauff reflected on the days after her US Open win. “Once I got home, it was pretty chill. I took a week off, which is the longest I’ve ever taken off from tennis. It was a little bit weird having nothing to do. Then we had a little celebration with all my friends and family could go to in Florida. After that, right back to training and back to getting back to work, which honestly, I was eager to get back. A week was a long time for me to take off,” Gauff said. During her seven-day break from tennis, Gauff admitted to feeling “a little bit weird.” “It was honestly a little bit weird, because it was just one of the biggest things in your life, then you go home and you’re back to cleaning and doing all the regular stuff that you do. But I’m not surprised. I know I have lots of tennis left in me. I don’t want to just dwell on this. It was amazing, but it’s time to move on,” Gauff said.
