Coco Gauff praised by Simona Halep before her match at the WTA Toronto quarterfinals

Simona Halep praised Coco Gauff ahead of her WTA 1000 quarter-final clash in Toronto. The former world number one says Gauff is “super young and strong” as she faces an extremely difficult opponent.

“She is a very tough opponent, she is super young and strong. She has a very strong game, I have faced her before and it was always difficult.

It’s a big challenge for me to be in an apartment here in Canada. I am confident, but I know that it will be difficult against them.

Tomorrow is a new day and I will fight for every ball like I did against Jill. Cory is very young, we often forget that. Because he plays non-stop and wins non-stop. He has grown a lot mentally.

I remember meeting her for the first time when she was 15 at Wimbledon. Since then, she has developed tremendously as a player and as a person. I have a feeling that she will become a Grand Slam champion in the near future.

He has every opportunity for it, and I felt how much he wanted it. She has progressed tremendously, every day she is better” – Simona Halepat the press conference after the victory with Teichmann.
