I don't have to take a long trip anywhere,&quot; Coco Gauff. &quot;But, yeah, I mean, if I qualify, it will be great. It's definitely one of the goals for the rest of the season, is to try to qualify for that. Definitely in a good position.&quot;&quot;But I'm happy that the Finals is in the U.S. I get to play another home tournament. The rest of the my tournaments for the year will be in North America. That's pretty nice not to have to take long flights or layovers,&quot; she added.Gauff will be eager to produce some good performances towards the end of the season to try and get into the Top-5 of the WTA rankings.
