On Saturday, 19-year-old Coco Gauff will become the youngest American to play in the U.S. Open final since 1999.
He has helped make her play more confident and loose.
“Oh, 100 percent,” Gauff admitted. “Yeah, definitely after Wimbledon, I wasn’t expecting to do well honestly in this hard court season, so I’m really proud of the way I’ve been able to turn this season around. Honestly when I had that [loss] at Wimbledon I was really thinking for offseason and preparing for next year.
Gauff has been happier overall, not heaping as much pressure on her slight shoulders from moment to moment, match to match.
