“I coached Andy at a young age,” he said. “He’s got an
amazing serve. And I was thinking, ‘what a great person to take a look at
Coco’s serve.’ It’s kind of full circle. When I coached Andy, I was his age
now. Andy was like Coco’s age. It was a great two days. Really helped things
out, simplified Coco’s motion, abbreviated a little bit.”
Gauff lived up to the hype in 2023 where she lifted her maiden
Grand Slam and till now the only one when she got the better of the current
world number two Belarus’ Aryna Sabalenka with a score of 2–6, 6–3, 6–2.
The Atlanta-born has started the first Grand Slam of 2024 in high spirits as well where she registered a thumping win in straight
sets against Anna Karolina Schmiedlova in straight sets with a score of 6-3, 6-0.
