Coco Gauff’s Washington title shows she is ready to contend at the US Open
Coco Gauff grew a bit weary of hearing fans’ various theories about what was wrong with her forehand.
Gauff said in an interview with the Associated Press that she got that from two sources in Washington: Her new full-time coach, Pere Riba, and a temporary consultant, Brad Gilbert. An example of that came in the last game of her 6-2, 6-3 victory over two-time Grand Slam semifinalist Maria Sakkari in Sunday’s final. Gauff dropped two consecutive points to go from 30-love to 30-all.“I took time to think about the serve that I wanted to hit,” she said. “I realized in the practices that I do perform better when I take time in between points.”
And as talented, speedy and smart as Gauff is, it’s her willingness to adapt and try to improve that makes her someone to watch in New York – and beyond, of course.
