Gauff started the season on a high note, winning the Auckland Classic in January.
But she went on to struggle on the Grand Slam stage, crashing out of Wimbledon and the US Open in the fourth round, while she was knocked out in the semifinals at the Australian and French Open.
The World No. 3 bounced back at the China Open earlier this month, winning her second WTA Tour title of the year and followed up with a run to the last four of the Wuhan Open a week later.
