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.

Gauff kicked off her North America hard-court swing against Danielle Collins at the Canadian Open. The American star served 23 double faults but still battled hard to overcome her fellow compatriot in three sets.
