NEW YORK - From the throngs of young fans who idolize her, to the tennis experts desperately seeking the sport’s “next big thing”, there is no shortage of expectations on the shoulders of 15-year-old Cori “Coco” Gauff.
After seeing off five-times Wimbledon champion Venus Williams on the way to reaching the last 16 at the All England Club this year, Gauff enters the final Grand Slam of 2019 with the kind of megawatt attention usually reserved only for the sport’s highest echelon. She claimed the women’s doubles title at last month’s Washington Open with fellow American teen Catherine McNally, her first WTA crown, but lost in the first round of the singles at the tournament.“The talent is there,” he told Reuters, adding that there were elements of her game that would improve over the next few years. “Speed, the way you move — she’s probably already among the best in the world. And serving power – she’s already there, 115, 118 on the radar gun.
“She is the goods. She is the real deal. She seems to have a great head on her shoulders and I hope that we’re not in a rush to make her a start – she’ll get there,” said Roddick.
