Roddick didn’t shy away from the intensity of the moment, acknowledging Gauff’s visible frustration but praising her ability to regroup and close out the match.
Gauff fights through emotion to advance
Coco Gauff’s match against Vekic was anything but smooth sailing. From missed opportunities to heated exchanges with her box, the young American showed raw emotion throughout.

Roddick highlighted this as a key moment in her development, noting how difficult it is to win while managing internal battles.
Swiatek steadies after second-set stumble
Iga Swiatek also featured in Roddick’s recap, having defeated Suzan Lamens in a match that briefly looked uncertain. After dropping the second set, Swiatek returned to form in the third, showing the kind of composure that has made her a top seed. Roddick pointed out her ability to reset mentally and physically, a skill that separates elite players from the rest of the field.
Sinner cruises, Draper exits
Jannik Sinner continued his dominant run, breezing through his match with clinical precision. Roddick praised his consistency and aggressive shot-making, suggesting that Sinner is shaping up to be one of the most dangerous players in the draw. On the flip side, Jack Draper’s withdrawal from the tournament was a disappointment. Roddick expressed sympathy for the young Brit, who has struggled with injuries throughout the season.
