PARIS : American teenager Coco Gauff hopes a return to Paris will help her rediscover the spark that has so far been missing during what has been a disappointing claycourt season.
She managed only three wins in the three claycourt events she has contested in the build-up and admits that she is a"different person" to the one that reached the final as she makes the transition into adulthood."I think that I got here earlier than most. My first hit was Monday and I was pretty much the third person in the locker room I think the attendee told me," Gauff told reporters.
"I don't know if it's because I know I need to lock in for this tournament or if it's just I love this city. Gauff has been working during the clay season with Serena Williams' former coach Patrick Mouratoglou although she says she still does not have a full-time coach.
