Recently, her coach Patrick Mouratoglou spoke about the bright tennis future in the upcoming days. Coco Gauff is a rarity in tennis and very soon she’ll be out with flying colors.

“I could see Coco getting to the final and winning a Grand Slam; she is not far away from that” Patrick Mouratoglou said. “The match against Sofia Kenin in Melbourne showed what she has to improve to get there. She still plays at an incredible level and her self-belief is so strong that she can surprise and maybe win a Grand Slam.”
