After the match, Gauff admitted it simply wasn’t her day, while noting her recent struggles. “It wasn’t great today,” Gauff said. “It hasn’t been the last few weeks — I’m trying to figure that out. “Definitely not happy about it… just one of those days when I felt awful in everything on the court.” Gauff was visibly upset at her performance throughout the matchGetty Linette scored one of the biggest victories of her career at the Miami OpenGetty Linette recognized how big of a victory it was for her and her career. “Beating Coco for the first time is a huge achievement for me,” Linette said after the match. “She’s so tough. Even on her worst days, she’s so so tough. “Thank you so much everyone for making this atmosphere so nice.” With the win, Linette now reaches her second career WTA 1000 quarterfinal.
