Mouratoglou believes Gauff can win a Grand Slam soon - "If she's able to be consistent, she can win one"

Coco Gauff has experienced a meteoric rise on the WTA Tour over the past two years, with the 17-year old reaching her first Grand Slam quarterfinals this year at Roland Garros. Renown tennis coach Patrick Mouratoglou sees the potential in the teenager, and believes she could be lifting her first Grand Slam trophy sooner rather than later.

"It's been a good year for Coco," Mouratoglou told CBS Sports. "Coco was further in the rankings, but now she's top 20 and seeded 21st at the Open. When everything goes very fast, it's a good sign."

Although Gauff fell in the second round of the 2021 US Open to compatriot Sloane Stephens, Mouratoglou insists that the teenager has made vast improvements to her game. Furthermore, he added that consistency is the key to winning a Major title, something that Gauff has begun to display as she gains more experience on the tour.

"She's going further and further every tournament so you feel she's getting there," added Mouratoglou. "She has the game, it's just a marathon to get a Grand Slam and for a young player, it's not easy to be consistent during a marathon but if she's able to be consistent, she can get there, she can win one. I'm very sure that she is going to win her first Grand Slam soon."
