Coco Gauff's Calm Approach Fuels Australian Open Hopes

Posted : 11 January 2025

Coco Gauff credited her ability to stay calm under pressure as the driving force behind her remarkable recent form, positioning her as a formidable contender against world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka at the Australian Open. The 20-year-old American, ranked third in the world, closed out 2024 in dominant fashion by clinching titles at both the China Open and the WTA Tour Finals.

 

Her momentum carried into the new season, where she delivered a flawless performance at the United Cup, including a straight-sets victory over world No. 2 Iga Swiatek to lead Team USA to the championship.

 

As Gauff prepares for a challenging opening-round clash against 2020 Australian Open champion Sofia Kenin, she emphasized the importance of staying relaxed. Reflecting on her evolution, Gauff highlighted the impact of her coaching change last fall, parting ways with Brad Gilbert and enlisting Matt Daly.

 

 The shift brought immediate success, with her triumph in Beijing being a turning point. Gauff credited her new team for helping her embrace the present moment and enjoy her tennis, even when faced with adversity. She acknowledged the need to adapt her approach and focus on growth beyond winning.

 

Gauff also revealed a renewed confidence in her game, particularly in her serve, which had been a liability during the US Open. She attributed her improved performance to taking more risks and embracing a proactive playing style, moving away from relying solely on her defensive skills.

 

 Gauff’s self-assured mindset and expanded repertoire have made her a significant threat in Melbourne, as she aims to build on her recent success and challenge for her first Australian Open title.
