Coco Gauff will be World Number One at some point in her career according to legendary former coach of the Williams sisters, Rick Macci.
Gauff is currently ranked World No.3 with only Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek ranked ahead of her in the WTA Rankings. Despite being 20, she has won the US Open title and won various big titles including the China Open last month after a period of poor form previously which derailed her momentum.
But she has also hired the services recently of Matt Daly after her coaching relationship with Brad Gilbert ceased. She has partly cut out the double fault woes which have see her not at her best at times.
But Macci of course having marshalled the careers of Serena and Venus Williams sees what others perhaps don't and believes she is top in most metrics.
“Her overall quickness is number One. Her make up speed is number One. Her backbone is number One. Her slice serve on the deuce court is number One. Coming soon to a court near you Coco Gauff will be number One. @CocoGauff.”
