In a recent talk with EuroSport, McEnroe praised Gauff’s career trajectory till now, and predicted the future course of the World No. 7; including winning the Grand Slams. He said, “There is a huge upside that includes winning majors. It’s not just going to happen.” Certainly, big achievements require bigger commitments. And similarly, according to the 7-time Grand Slam champion, Gauff needs a few things to begin her Grand Slam streak.
He added, “There are certain things that need to take place in her head and in her game. Chris Evert knows a thing or two about winning majors, so perhaps they can carve out some time to work on some things. I think that’s a great idea.”
Well, it’s certainly a terrific idea. And more so, as the World No.7 marked the beginning of the season, with a 6-1,6-1 victory over an unseeded opponent to claim the season opener title in Auckland.
