Posted : 29 June 2023
Jodie Burrage, a 24-year-old British tennis player, displayed a positive outlook despite her loss to Coco Gauff at the Eastbourne International. Gauff, ranked seventh in the world, convincingly defeated Burrage 6-1 6-1 in their match.
However, Burrage believes the experience of facing a top-ten player will benefit her development as a player. She considers it a benchmark and intends to work harder to narrow the gap in future matches.
Burrage recognizes the importance of aspects such as serve, shot pace, and footwork, and aims to be better prepared for similar situations in the future.
Looking ahead, Burrage's focus now shifts to Wimbledon, where she has been granted wildcards for both singles and doubles competitions. This will be her third consecutive appearance in the main draw of the prestigious tournament. Just a few weeks prior, she achieved the biggest result of her career by reaching the final of the Nottingham Open.
Despite a setback in the first round of the Surbiton tournament upon her return from injury, Burrage rebounded and defeated notable players on her way to the WTA final. This accomplishment has motivated her to continue improving her game and she eagerly awaits the upcoming Wimbledon challenge.
Burrage expresses her determination to prepare mentally for Wimbledon and acknowledges the areas in which she needs to enhance her performance. She is eager to return to the practice court and work on her game.
The experience gained from competing against top players like Gauff has provided valuable insights that she plans to apply in future matches. With a clear understanding of her goals and aspirations, Burrage is motivated to continue her journey and strive for success in her tennis career.
