Coco Gauff reveals ‘focus’ for improvement as she unveils new coach

Coco Gauff has revealed she is “really excited” after confirming that Matt Daly has become her new coach.

Gauff recently split with Brad Gilbert after a 14-month partnership during which she won the US Open in 2023, but suffered a notable dip in form across this summer.

The US star has now revealed that she is working with Daly, who has joined forces with J.C Farrell to help coach the 20-year-old across the rest of the season and into 2025.

Former collegiate star Daly, 45, most recently coached ATP Tour star Denis Shapovalov.

“I’m really excited,” said Gauff, speaking to WTA Insider.

“I think this is probably what it will look like next year too. I’m super excited for a new change and hopefully to improve other parts of my game.

“Working with Brad was really great and obviously we had a great partnership. I think it was just time to do a reset, a refresh, and add some things in my game that I felt like I need to do to have a better season next year.”
