Coco Gauff will be a dominant server, I was blown away by the days we spent together” – Andy Roddick

Former World No. 1 Andy Roddick recently shared his experience of working with Coco Gauff’s camp to iron out the kinks in her serve ahead of the 2024 Australian Open.

Gauff has enjoyed a mercurial rise on the WTA Tour since the second half of 2023. The 19-year-old won her maiden Major title at the US Open in scintillating

fashion, overcoming a set deficit to beat Aryna Sabalenka in the championship match. The American also achieved a career-high ranking of World No. 3 last year.

Having said that, several aspects of Coco Gauff’s serve have held her back against top-level opponents in the recent past. The teen phenom’s coach Brad Gilbert attempted to fix the underlying cause of the problem during the pre-season, which led him to ask for Andy Roddick’s advice.

Most fans would know that Andy Roddick is one of the best servers of all time, thanks to his tally of 9,074 aces and a 90% career service game win rate. Against that background, he was perhaps the fittest candidate to offer advice to the 2023 US Open champion before her Melbourne campaign.

The former World No. 1 recently narrated a personal account of working on Gauff’s first serve ahead of the 2024 Australian Open on his podcast, claiming that the American was a quick learner and that her dedication to improving her game was impressive

“When Travis Kelce arrived quietly at the private memorial service in Dallas, no one expected the Chiefs’ tight end to turn the somber gathering into a moment that would be remembered forever. ▶️ WATCH THE VIDEO: As Marshawn Kneeland’s father sat in the front row holding a framed photo of his son, his hands trembling, Travis approached — not as a football superstar, but as a teammate, a brother, and a man who understood the weight of loss. Placing one arm gently around Kneeland’s father’s shoulders, Travis spoke softly, his voice steady yet full of emotion: “Marshawn Kneeland wasn’t just a player on our team — he was the soul of it. His energy, his laughter, his fight… they’ll stay with us every time we step on that field.” For a moment, the chapel fell completely silent. Then Travis lowered his head, offering a quiet prayer. His words, unspoken yet deeply felt, carried through the room — a promise that Marshawn’s spirit would live on through the game he loved and the men who played beside him. By the time Travis stepped back, tears filled the eyes of teammates, family, and friends alike. In that small chapel, it wasn’t about football anymore. It was about brotherhood, grief, and the kind of love that refuses to fade — even after the final whistle.”
