$5,000,000 Worth Rising American Tennis Talent Coco Gauff Reveals the Intricacies of Donning an Employer’s Hat for the First Time – ‘Don’t Know if I Like It..’

There is no doubt that Coco Gauff has always strived to pave her own path to the tennis circuit’s top echelons. But just like every other player, the American tennis prodigy also had the guidance and mentorship of her coaches along the way to success. And to ensure that she receives the right training, the 19-year-old player has always been very selective in choosing her coaches. Speaking about the same, the WTA star opened up about her new role of being an employer as she recently parted ways with her previous coach.

Coco Gauff is on the hunt for her new coaching staff

The American tennis player’s breakthrough came during the previous season when she made it to her first-ever Grand Slam singles final under the guidance of the Argentine coach, Diego Moyano. Under his tutelage, Coco Gauff also cemented her position in the top five of the WTA rankings.

Even at the doubles event, the 19-year-old player was a dominating figure as she became the World No. 1 in the women’s circuit. However, despite having a remarkable season with the 48-year-old coach, Gauff recently made a controversial decision to part ways with Moyano due to some personal reasons.

Now, the tennis prodigy is on the hunt for her new coaching staff as she has taken up the role of an employer in addition to being a pro athlete. During the pre-tournament press conference in Rome, Gauff stated that she is finding the hiring process quite challenging.

She said, “It’s a different process. I don’t know if I like it or not. It’s something you have to do. I just hope who the next person is, I get to keep them for a while because I don’t like interviewing people. It’s so awkward.”

Who coached Gauff in the previous seasons?

Prior to the Argentine tennis coach, the WTA player’s coaching team included her father Corey Gauff, and the former French tennis player, Jean-Christophe Faurel. Under their guidance and mentorship, Gauff outclassed some of the best players including the American tennis legend, Venus Williams.

They assisted the American tennis star in her ascent to prominence in the women’s circuit.
