Coco gafff has served a surprise before this open.
Royal Champion Roland Garros has ceased former coach Matt Dary Just four days before starting Sunday in the US Open on Sunday. Gauff is held Faurel jean-christopheHer long -term coach for her team. Both Faurel and Daly were in the box when Gauff gathered in world past no. 1 Aryna Sabalenka to capture her second title of Grand Slam career on a day of wind in Roland Garros.
Journalist Ben Rothenberg confirmed Daly’s removal earlier today.
Today, Gauff replaced Daly in open US practice courts with biomechanical coach Gavin Macmillanwho worked with sabalenka to fix her service before. Sabalenka has credited Macmillan showing her video of shortcomings in her service and helping her correct them in the simplest movement that has helped her grow in world no. 1 and reach four of the last seven main finals.
US Open Open Gafff’s 2023 GAFF GAUFF Hit A Nadir in Montreal this month where Guffer coughs 43 double mistakes in three matches on the way to the quarterfinals.
GAUFF CHAPTER 23 Double Errors-is a full set of doubles-in its opening against Danielle Collins still squeezed by a 7-5, 4-6 7-6 (2) victory relying on her gravel and legs to do it in two hours, 56 minutes.
The WTA finals champion confirmed her disappointment in service problems after she passed Washington, DC to work widely on her service sharpening for this difficult North American season. In Montreal, Guff said her service was “in a crutch”.

Although the double champion of Grand Slam has the ability to share service wars, Shirk Stretchs of Shoddy play and fight with anger with the match on the line, it has not been being held while the competition intensifies in later rounds. When Gauff was lost in the 18-year-old Canadian sensation Vicky Lundoko in Montreal, the young Canadian seemed more comfortable in service than American.
“I mean, there are positives and there are negatives,” Gauff media told Montreal. “Of course I’m so disappointed in myself when it comes to that part of the game just because I didn’t play DC to work on it and made changes to it and doing well in practice and serving really well in practice. Yes, so I would just like it to be transferred to the match.
“It gives positive that, okay, I am winning these matches by literally having part of my game in a crutch. So it’s as if I could stand on both legs, then I can only imagine that it would be much more straightforward and much easier for me.”
The training block in July came months after Gauff spent a few days in the outside season working with the former -Nr. 1 Andy Roddick in the service. Gauff said that working with Roddick she tried to sit slightly to make the service easier to repeat under pressure. Still, when Gauff is tightened, she sometimes nets the service or puts the casting far forward and has sometimes struggled to pronounce shock services.
Is Gauff pressing the panic button so close to starting the final collision of the season?
Or is it a proactive gafff by making the right and long movement to prove to adjust the most light weakness in its game?
In a video conference with the media today to promote open coverage of ESPN in the US starting Sunday, analysts Mary Joe Fernandez AND Patrick MCineroe The two adopted Guff’s decision as “a smart action” and “a bold action” to try to improve instead of staying in a service that is simply not working now.
“It has a problem with the service and trying to address it,” ESPN Analyst Mary Joe Fernandez The media told today the call of the video conference. “I think it’s a smart act to go to someone who has succeeded in Gavin with Sabalenka.
“(Sabalenka) played through her service issues. She did not take the time of rest. She continued to compete and he was with her at the event, including US Open, a few years ago. So I think it’s a smart act for Coco. We’ll see. We’ll see if she has enough time to work and sink with changes.”
Former US Davis Cup captain Patrick MCineroe It suggests the first step towards resolving a matter in the brain is to admit that it exists and approves Gauff’s decision to change coaches.
“I think it’s a bold action from Coco to hire a new coach right away (US Open),” Patrick McCoe told the media. “Very very unusual for a high player (to do). Tenis, you’re there yourself, you don’t want to admit you have a weakness.
“The fact that she’s so open: I have to deal with this, I have to try to fix this. The last coach she hired when she shared ways with our Brad Gilbert had to be technical type coaches as well.
“This guy is taking her to another level-the biomechanical coach she is brought in so that she can believe she can be adjusted. I believe she can. She is an athlete so great that it should be more solid, but the game of women is not as heavy as men with 2, but you see a Top 3-Sabalenka, IgA and Coco-Treavy. final in Open last year. “
Working with Brad Gilbert in her corner when she won the US Open, Gauff chelled to rotate a high percentage of the first services and rest on her back, legs and competition to beat opponents.
Now, Gauff is trying to rebuild the service and make it a weapon as it was when it first exploded by reaching Wimbledon’s fourth round.
