In a recent revelation, she explained her experience of working and training under a new coach, the changes he implemented, and how it would help her win the upcoming US Open.

While starting out new things, people can sometimes get a little worried about how things would turn out to be. Coco revealed that she was no different. She mentioned she was a bit worried because of the age difference between the two. However, her anxieties faded away as Brad turned out to be a fun-loving guy who did not let the age difference become a hindrance.

Coco said, “Yeah, he’s a very funny man. I was a little bit worried, because he is older, that I thought the generational thing, I didn’t want to be with someone who’s a wall. But he’s definitely not a wall. He’s making us laugh on the court constantly. I think he just makes the game fun and makes it simple. So I’m hoping if everything goes well we probably will continue after this.”
