Brad Gilbert and Coco Gauff's coaching partnership has come to an end after a successful year together. Gilbert announced the split on social media, expressing gratitude for their time together and wishing Gauff continued success.
Gilbert, a renowned coach who has worked with Andre Agassi, Andy Murray, and Andy Roddick, joined Gauff's team in 2023. Under their guidance, Gauff enjoyed a remarkable run, winning three titles and her first Grand Slam singles title at the US Open.
However, after a strong start to 2024, Gauff's form declined. She struggled in the spring and summer, losing in the round of 16 at both Wimbledon and the US Open. Gauff also failed to medal at the Paris Olympics and lost in the second round of both WTA 1000 events leading up to the US Open.
Gilbert's departure leaves Gauff without a head coach. She is expected to return to action at the WTA 1000 China Open in Beijing on September 25th.
Gauff's recent struggles have raised questions about her mental resilience and the need for a new coaching approach. Gilbert's departure may provide an opportunity for Gauff to reassess her game and find a coach who can help her overcome her current challenges.
