Coco Gauff Takes Cincinnati Momentum Into US Open Bid

Coco Gauff just won her first tennis tournament of the year in Cincinnati.

She beat fellow American player Jessica Pegula in the final.

Now she is preparing to play at the US Open in New York.

Gauff wants to win her third major tennis championship.

She believes the Cincinnati matches taught her how to solve problems even when she is not playing perfectly.

She also feels more confident serving because she has worked on her technique and variety.

Gauff says she is trying not to worry about criticism from other people.

Instead, she wants to keep improving and trust her hard work.
