Coco Gauff and coach Brad Gilbert have announced the end of their partnership after more than a year of working together, following Gauff's disappointing performance at the recent U.S. Open. The decision to split comes in the wake of Gauff's fourth-round loss at Flushing Meadows, where she struggled with 19 double-faults, ultimately losing to Emma Navarro.
Despite their successful run in 2023, which included Gauff's first Grand Slam title at the U.S. Open, recent months have seen a decline in Gauff's performance, leading to her drop from world No. 3 to No. 6 in the WTA rankings. The coaching duo of Gilbert and Pere Riba had played a crucial role in Gauff's career, with notable achievements such as semifinal appearances at the Australian Open and French Open earlier this year.
