Coco Gauff and Serena Williams 'both gems cut from the same stone' says former coach Rick Macci
WTATuesday, 23 January 2024 at 02:00
Tennis coach Rick Macci posted believes that both America’s
Coco Gauff and legendary Serena Williams are ‘gems cut from the same stone’.
The 19-year-old is often regarded as the most highly-rated
player currently playing in the women’s singles category. On the other hand, Serena
is often regarded as the greatest player in the history of women’s tennis in the
singles category, having won as many as 23 Grand Slam titles in her illustrious
career.
Macci, in a post on his official account on social media
platform X — previously known as Twitter — compared both players and suggested
that they are cut from the stones.
"@CocoGauff is an Olympic Sprinter with a racquet in
her hand. @serenawilliams is an Olympic Champion with a racquet in her hand.
Both GEMS cut from the same stone,” he wrote.
Gauff lived up to the hype in 2023 where she lifted her maiden
Grand Slam title as she defeated the current world number two Aryna Sabalenka in
the final of the US Open with a score of 2–6, 6–3, 6–2.
Gauff is having an impressive time on the court in the ongoing
Australian Open 2024 where she has already booked her place in the quarterfinal
after beating Poland’s Magdalena Frech with a score of 6-1, 6-2. She will next
face Ukraine’s Marta Kostyuk on Tuesday.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
