Wimbledon 2025: Gauff, Zverev Discuss Mental Struggles

News summary

Coco Gauff, the No. 2 seed and reigning French Open champion, was eliminated in the first round of Wimbledon 2025 by Dayana Yastremska, making her only the third woman in the Open era to win Roland-Garros and then lose her opener at Wimbledon. Gauff and fellow top seed Alexander Zverev both cited mental health struggles and exhaustion from the quick transition between major tournaments. The tournament also saw a record-tying 23 seeds—13 ATP and 10 WTA players, including Jessica Pegula—fall in the opening round, underscoring the unpredictability of the grass-court season. Gauff struggled with unforced errors and double faults, attributing her performance to a lack of recovery time and adjustment to grass. Both Gauff and Zverev have spoken openly about the psychological pressures they face as elite athletes. Despite her disappointment, Gauff and commentators like Andy Roddick emphasized that her French Open victory remains a major career milestone.
