Gauff had a spectacular 2022 season. The 18-year-old reached her maiden Grand Slam singles final and her second Grand Slam doubles final at the French Open, entered the top 5 of the singles rankings, and became the World No. 1 in doubles - all in the same season. She also booked a spot in the WTA Finals for the first time in her career.
In a recent interview with Eurosport, John McEnroe stated that Coco Gauff’s career progression has been “great,” despite her subpar performance in the WTA Finals, adding that the American has plenty of time to improve her game as she is only 18 years old.
McEnroe went on to claim that Chris Evert, an 18-time Grand Slam winner, could help Gauff win her first Major by working together and paving the trail.
“A slower approach for Coco Gauff would be better right now” - John McEnroe
In the same interview, John McEnroe stated that there is a great deal of pressure and expectation on Coco Gauff and that a slower approach would be better for her game at the moment.
The 18-year-old is currently competing in the 2023 ASB Classic. She got off to a brilliant start in the tournament after beating Germany’s Tatjana Maria in straight sets, 6-1, 6-4. She will next lock horns with Sofia Kenin in the second round.
