"There is still some technical stuff that she needs to deal with, but it’s getting better" - Navratilova still sees improvement in Gauff to come

Martina Navratilova sees improvement in Gauff although she still thinks there are some things to be done in her game.

Coco Gauff had the best season of her career and while it was void of singles trophies she did make it to her first grand slam final as well as becoming world number one at one point. The American will now play her first WTA Finals and speaking ahead of the event, Navratilova broke down what she sees in Gauff.

She said:

"Yeah, she’s been doing it one step at a time. Overall, she would be happy with where she is. There is still some technical stuff that she needs to deal with, but it’s getting better -- all of it is getting better all the time."

Navratilova also spoke about her court coverage:

"And the coverage of the court -- she and Swiatek are the fastest players out there. They make people hit more balls than anybody else. I think she’s constructing points better, hitting the right shots more often, understanding the geometry of the court. It’s been fun to watch her progress. You can see she wants it so badly. She’s open to learning and evolving."
