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
