Coco Gauff and Coach Brad Gilbert Part Ways After US Open Exit

Hey there, fellow tennis enthusiasts It’s your girl Mia Johnson-Carter here, living the dream in Miami. I’m super excited to share some awesome news with you all about a significant change in the world of tennis. Recently, I stumbled upon an article that caught my eye. It was about Coco Gauff and her coach Brad Gilbert parting ways after a frustrating fourth-round exit from the US Open.

Coco Gauff’s US Open title defense came to a halt in the fourth round earlier this month.

Coco Gauff, the world No 6, and her coach Brad Gilbert have decided to go their separate ways. This news comes as a shock to many fans and fellow players alike, especially after Gilbert helped coach Gauff to her first grand slam title in New York last year. Despite their success, there were clear signs of friction between them, particularly at Wimbledon where Gauff shouted in frustration at Gilbert during her fourth-round defeat against American Emma Navarro.

Gilbert expressed his gratitude to Gauff and the entire team for an “absolutely amazing summer run in 2023 and for 14 months of incredible team effort.” He also mentioned that he is excited for the next chapter in his coaching career and wishes Gauff nothing but continued success ahead.

Gauff responded with a heartfelt message on social media, thanking Gilbert and wishing him all the best in his future endeavors. The news has sparked a lot of discussion about the challenges faced by top players and their coaches, especially in the high-pressure world of professional tennis.
