Coco is getting ready to play on the red soil

In 2021, Coco achieved her best Grand Slam result by reaching the quarter-final of the French Open. So, this year will be a great opportunity for the young American player to better her performance from last year.
In any case, her form leading up to the French Open is concerning. Earlier, at the Australian Open, she lost in the first round. In Indian Wells, she lost in the round of 32 and she reached only the round of 16 at the Miami Open. Meanwhile, she has been doing some great work in doubles matches. Earlier, she won the doubles tournament in Qatar with her fellow American Jessica Pegula. Recently, she reached the semi-final as well in the Miami Open with Catherine McNally.
