Second seed Coco Gauff is chasing a rare "Channel Slam" at Wimbledon after lifting her maiden French Open title, the American said on Saturday, though she is keeping expectations in check as she adapts to the quick transition from clay to grass.

The last woman to achieve the Channel Slam — winning Wimbledon and the French Open in the same year — was Serena Williams, who accomplished the feat in 2002 and again in 2015.

The 21-year-old Gauff, who became the first American woman since Williams to win at Roland Garros, is not putting too much pressure on herself though, having never made it past the fourth round at Wimbledon.

Gauff only played in Berlin, where she was stunned by China's Wang Xinyu in the round of 16, in the lead-up to Wimbledon.

"I understand why it (a Channel Slam) hasn't been done that often. Except I guess Carlos (Alcaraz), he makes it look pretty easy. Novak (Djokovic), too. I didn't realize it was 10 years since Serena," Gauff told reporters.

"I would love to do that. Also, I'm not going to put that much pressure on myself because I've been telling my team and people around me, this is all new territory for me.

"I'm trying to take it as I go. If I were to end up there, it would be great. If not, I'll try to come up with a better way to prepare for this tournament next year."

While Gauff's athleticism and baseline power have taken her deep on hard and clay courts, her game has yet to fully click on grass, where the low bounce and quick pace often disrupt players' rhythm and court coverage.

Asked what she would focus on to strengthen her game on the surface, Gauff said, "For sure movement. It's obviously a lot different than clay. Just keeping the ball lower."

"And then serve, I want to be pretty aggressive with the serve here just because it's grass."

Gauff also expressed her desire to move on from the fallout of her French Open final victory over Aryna Sabalenka.

Gauff won a tense three-set clash in stormy conditions in Paris to land her second Grand Slam earlier this month.

However, the aftermath of the match was dominated by Sabalenka's comments that Gauff didn't play "incredibly well" and instead won "because I made all those mistakes."

The Belarusian has since apologized and the two showed they have put the spat behind them by posting a dance video together on TikTok on the Wimbledon grass.

"It was just water under a bridge. I know Aryna," Gauff said. "We got along pretty well anyways before all that happened. It wasn't very hard to accept that apology."

Despite a backlash against Sabalenka in the U.S. media, Gauff said it was not hard to hold her tongue and resist the temptation to respond.

"I'm not someone that supports hate and things like that. So I thought it would be a good idea for that (the TikTok video) just so people can really see it and kind of move on because I think we're both tired of talking about it, to be honest."

Gauff will face Ukrainian Dayana Yastremska in her opening match on Tuesday.
