Coco Gauff had hoped to reset at the Cincinnati Open after a string of defeats by lower-ranked players, but the American will be seeking answers back at home after a stunning loss in her opener prematurely ended her title defence.
The Florida-based 20-year-old arrived in Cincinnati on the back of four tour-level losses to unfancied players going back to the French Open in June and was defeated 6-4 2-6 6-4 by Kazakh world number 34 Yulia Putintseva on Thursday.

The defeat was a big blow to her preparations for the Aug. 26-Sept. 8 U.S. Open, where she will bid to retain her trophy.
"I feel like I have to work on consistency, overall," Gauff, who will one spot to world number three next week, told the WTA Tour after declining a press conference.
"I'll probably go home and try to reset," she said.
"Obviously, I have a lot coming up soon with the U.S. Open, so I think just trying to reset and be ready for that."
