World No. 2 Coco Gauff had a hilarious moment during her on-court interview following her Berlin win as the American tennis star didn’t remember that just 12 months ago it was Ekaterina Alexandrova who ended her run in the German capital.
After a first-round bye, top-seeded Gauff kicked off her Berlin campaign on Thursday with a 7-6 (6) 6-2 win over 20th-ranked Ekaterina Alexandrova.
Last year, Gauff started her Berlin run with a straight-set win over Katerina Siniakova before Alexandrova handed her a 6-4 6-0 loss in the round-of-16.
After meeting Alexandrova in the same stage of Berlin this year but this time ending on the winning side, the 20-year-old American was asked if she had in mind the Berlin loss she suffered to the Russian last year.
“The match you played against her here last year, the same spot, was that anywhere on your mind, or was it gone?” the on-court interviewer told Gauff on the court.
Gauff hilariously responded by asking back the interviewer: “I played her here last year?”
The interviewer instantly answered Gauff’s question, telling her: “Yeah. And you lost.”
Gauff replied, “Oh, well, I don’t remember” before bursting into laughter.
