Gauff doesn't believe she is close to her peak yet: "I think I'm just continuing to get stronger"

Coco Gauff began the new year by ending the dry spell of her not winning a singles trophy in a while and she's only going to get stronger from here.

Not many would argue that Gauff hit her peak yet because she is so young and there is plenty she can improve upon but even now she's one of the best players in the world. She would agree that she's not close to her peak and her goal is simply to grow slowly until she finally reaches that peak in the coming years.

"Compared to other players, obviously I still have a lot less years than them. As much as I would like to think this might be the best I'll be, I don't believe it because I feel like most of the tennis players are peaking in their career around 22 to 26"

She added:

"I realize physically I'm at a much different level than I was at 15, I think I'm just continuing to get stronger. There's a joke that my mom has: 'You don't have that grown woman strength yet. You'll know when you get it.''

She will begin her Australian Open against Katerina Siniakova.
