Coco Gauff recently silenced critics who trolled her amid the rollercoaster 2025 season. The WTA star stated facts to make fans believe that none of her defeats point to a concerning situation. She instead expressed optimism ahead of her upcoming showdown at the BNP Paribas Open.

"I don't know, everybody makes a bigger deal than what it is... I lost two matches. I'll lose more matches back to back, it's going to happen. Everyone is, like, 'Oh, she's sinking.' Okay, we've been through this. I'll pick it back up.

"To me, for me I guess it feels like a month but it's just two tournaments, and at this calendar I have so many other opportunities, and I can't win every match," she said, in her pre-event press conference.

Coco Gauff's 2025 season brought several moments of disappointment. Although she made it to the quarterfinals in Melbourne, her performance in Doha and Dubai turned out to be quite concerning. She faced opening-round defeats against Marta Kostyuk and McCartney Kessler respectively.

She's now gearing up with high levels of enthusiasm to kick off her campaign at Indian Wells. With her opening match scheduled to be played on March 7, her round of 64 rival is yet to be determined.
