Coco Gauff has made a team change after a disappointing last couple of months as the American tennis star is moving on from coach Brad Gilbert.

But the 20-year-old didn’t come anywhere near meeting her expectations after picking up round-of-16 losses at Wimbledon, the Paris Olympics and the US Open.

“Thanks to @CocoGauff and the entire team for an absolutely amazing summer run in 2023 and for 14 months of incredible team effort. Coco, at just 20 years young, your future is incredibly bright, and I wish you nothing but continued success ahead. I’m excited for the next chapter in my coaching career,” Gilbert wrote on X.
