It means Gauff's wait for a second major title rolls on, but the 20-year-old refused to be too harsh on herself.

She said: "Paula was playing great. You know, maybe some moments in the first set could have gone my way, could have been a different outcome in the first set.

"Yeah, I think it's just a lot more work to do. I'm obviously disappointed, but I'm not completely crushed. I'm looking forward to a lot."

Gauff made six double faults to Badosa's two, while also making 41 unforced errors.

Ji-Hyun Yan scored the only South Korean goal that came in the 30th minute of the clash. 

China,panaloko gaming meanwhile, have experienced a rollercoaster of results. After a demoralizing 0-3 defeat to India, they bounced back with a 4-2 victory over Malaysia. However, their momentum was short-lived as they faced another loss, this time 2-3 against South Korea.

"I feel like I was making a lot [of mistakes], especially into the net," Gauff added.

"I think it was a little bit that the timing was a bit off. I think I was hitting some balls too far in front almost, maybe playing a little bit too far back.

"I felt like I was setting up a lot of the points well. There were a lot of errors.

"I have to be aggressive. I feel like that's when I'm playing my best. That's how I won most of the matches [over the] last few months, by playing aggressive.

"I think it's just being more comfortable with that. I'm making a shift in my game. I haven't always played that aggressively. I do have faith that it will be more of an instinct instead of a second guess."golden palasyo
