American tennis sensation Coco Gauff is winning accolades all over. Only 19, she reached the Top four in ATP rankings and currently holds the seventh position. That’s so fast! Coco Gauff has already won four WTA singles titles and is hailed as the next big thing in women’s tennis. The latest DC Open win beating Maria Sakkari in the finals gives her the impetus she needs ahead of the US Open. No wonder legends of the game are heaping praises on the young star.

One of them is the Williams’ sisters’ childhood coach Rick Macci. He can’t help but make a colossal observation on Coco Gauff. His words should work wonders for the promising player eyeing greater glories. Rick Macci would know – he had groomed Serena Williams and Venus Williams. Now, what did he say?

Rick Macci places his bets on Coco Gauff, claims she will end up as Numero Uno

Rick Macci can go and on over Coco Gauff. Now, why shouldn’t he? A career ranking of four last year had experts go gaga over Coco Gauff. She hit headlines after winning her maiden WTA Tour singles title in 2019 at the age of 15. The Linz Open winner earned her the distinction of the youngest singles title-champion since 2004. But it was the victory over Venus Williams in the first round of Wimbledon in 2019 that shot her to prominence.

Venus Williams’ coach has already had the last word on Coco Gauff. “Remember @CocoGauff is only 19. It is not where you start it is where you finish. And her finish line will be number one someday,” tweeted Rick Macci following her DC Open conquest.
