Serena Williams' former coach Rick Macci commented on Twitter about the possibilities of Coco Gauff and Alycia Parks on tour
Young Americans have generated great expectations for the results they have obtained. Coco Gauff has already been the protagonist for a couple of seasons despite the fact that she is only 18 years old. By other side, 22-year-old Parks has just been champion in Lyon last week defeating the world no. 5 Caroline Garcia in the final, becoming another name to keep an eye on this season.
Macci said that this year is a good opportunity for Coco Gauff to go even further in the ranking and named several of the top players in the last few years to argue: “The door is open for Coco Gauff. Barty retired, Serena exited stage, left, Osaka is away this year, Iga has come back down to earth. 2023 Coco wins a slam and will be number 1 by the end of the year. Olympic sprinter on a mission and a burning desire."
