Coco Gauff is currently a big rage in the world of tennis. Ever since she won three tournaments in the US, Gauff has been the apple of the eye of every tennis fan. She has been compared to the greats of the sport before she won her first slam. Since her win, the comparisons have become even stronger. A prominent tennis figure recently said that she has a similar personality to Rafael Nadal, which was absent in Roger Federer.

Coco Gauff has been stirring up high hopes for the world of tennis. As she climbs to the top spot and fights the top players in the WTA, she is creating rivalries that have increased her popularity and the sport. 

Coco Gauff possesses Rafael Nadal qualities which eluded Roger Federer

In the recent edition of the Tennis Channel Inside-In podcast, renowned sports journalist Matthew Futterman talked about a wide range of topics in tennis. Futterman also talked about Federer and Nadal and how the two relate to the new generation of tennis stars. When talking about their quality, he called the Swiss Maestro an artist and likened the US Open champion to Rafa.

“Federer has so many outrageously incredible qualities. I don’t know that I ever felt like I was on the journey with him. I felt, you know, I think he’s sort of felt like he was on another planet than everybody else. Whereas Rafa, I do think you just get to put it in the seat with him. It’s just a different way that people, different thing that people give off on the court and the way they go about their matches. And Coco, you certainly get into it with her. There’s no question.”
