Following 14 months together, coach Brad Gilbert and US Open winner Coco Gauff announced their separation on Wednesday. The American, 20, lost her opening match at Cincinnati in her most recent Open tune-up and was eliminated in the round of 16 at Wimbledon, the Olympics in Paris, the WTA Toronto tournament, and the US Open. “@bgtennisnation, thank you very much! I wish you the very best in the future; we had an amazing run.” Gauff published on X, which was originally Twitter.
The sixth-ranked Gauff won in Washington and Cincinnati the previous year, then went on to win the US Open, her maiden Grand Slam title. With that victory, she became the first teenage champion in New York since Serena Williams in 1999. “Thanks to @CocoGauff and the entire team for an amazing summer run in 2023 and 14 months of incredible team effort,” Gilbert said on Twitter.
“Considering how young you are (20 years old), Coco, I wish you nothing but the best for the future. The next phase of my coaching career excites me.” Only on JioSaavn.com can you listen to the newest tracks. Despite having advanced to the semifinals of both the Australian and French Opens last year, world no. 6 Gauff was unable to replicate her 2023 triumph this summer.
