Coco Gauff’s serving woes continued Friday night in Mason, Ohio, as the world No. 2 served up 16 double faults during a 2-6, 6-4, 6-3 defeat to world No. 9 Jasmine Paolini in the quarterfinals of the Cincinnati Open.

Look no further than Iga Swiatek. Earlier this summer, the sky was falling for Swiatek. She failed to defend any of her clay court titles, sank in the WTA Rankings, and was fielding outlandish questions about possibly skipping the grass court season altogether (luckily, that did not happen).

Coco Gauff has endured a difficult run of form since the French Open, including an early exit from Wimbledon, while her U.S. Open preparation has been poor.
