"I honestly, I saw a tweet that said I should go to the net more, Gauff said in the post-match interview, and I was like, Yeah, you're right, I win a lot of net points. So I honestly was thinking about that on match point, and I was just hoping I didn't miss the ball in the net because I've done that a couple times, but I was just focused on just hitting it over the net."
"Following a loss in a previous tournament, the account urged Gauff to go to the net WAY more often. We didn't get the win in the end, the account continued, but my gosh was it amazing seeing you rush that net and put those balls away."
Coco Gauff, ranked fourth in the world, won her round of 16 match at the Miami Open against Sorana Cirstea. She attributed her success to a tweet that advised her to approach the net more frequently. Gauff acknowledged that this advice was pivotal during the match, particularly on match point. The tweet came from the account @slice_szn, which had previously encouraged her to utilize net play more effectively after a prior loss. Gauff's focus on this strategy contributed to her victory and advancement to the quarterfinals.
