Gauff, who won her opening match against Viktoriya Tomova, mentioned the slower and heavier conditions in Wuhan, despite her recent success being physically punishing.
However, the world number four is excited to compete and is working hard to overcome every obstacle in her quest to win the Wuhan championship.
Gauff said during her on-court interview: “I mean every day is tough. I have spent a lot of energy the last couple of days, so every match is a blessing. I am just happy to get the chance to play, maybe when I’m not 100%. I played really well today. Marta is a tough opponent but happy with how I played. Every match I am just trying to push through, it’s been a lot of matches in a short amount of time, but I’m happy with how I played today.”
