A fter a month-long hiatus, and despite committing 23 double faults, Coco Gauff defeated fellow Floridian Danielle Collins in the second round of the National Bank Open in Montreal on Tuesday, July 29. Gauff won the first set 7‑5, but Collins won the second set 6‑4. Gauff then prevailed 7-6 (2) in the final set.

Gauff's serve changes are still embedding into her tennis. But she has other ways to win when the double faults start.

It’s not often that the world No. 2 goes two months without winning a match, but that’s the reality Coco Gauff was facing late Tuesday night in Montreal, on the cusp of a third consecutive loss, this time in her opening duel at the Canadian Open.
