NEW YORK (AP) This is pretty much all anyone needs to know about defending champion Coco Gauffs 6-3, 4-6, 6-3 loss to Emma Navarro in the U.S. Opens fourth round on Sunday: Gauff wound up with more double-faults, 19, than winners, 14.

It was the latest in a series of early-for-her exits in recent weeks, including bowing out in the third round at the Paris Olympics, then going 1-2 at hard-court tuneup events before arriving in New York.

I feel like theres 70 other players in the draw that would love to have the summer that I had, even though its (the) least, probably, (Ive) done well during this time of the year, said the No. 3-seeded Gauff, who went 18-1 during the North American swing on hard courts 12 months ago, including the run to her first Grand Slam title . So many people want to be in the fourth round. So many people want to make the Olympics. So many people want to be flag bearer. Its perspective.
