Coach Patrick Mouratoglou believes Coco Gauff could do more major things in the near future as Serena Williams’ former coach thinks the 19-year-old “has more confidence in her game and ability to win Slams” since winning the US Open.
Gauff, who is currently enjoying a career-high ranking of No 3 in the world, became a Grand Slam champion at this year’s US Open after beating Aryna Sabalenka in the final. Previewing the 2024 season, Mouratoglou is excited about Naomi Osaka returning and believes the four-time Grand Slam champion could do big things in her post-pregnancy comeback.
