Coco Gauff's 1st match with a new serve coach at the US Open is a struggle but also a win

  • Third-Seeded American Coco Gauff narrowly edged out Ajla Tomljanovic in a three-set match at the opening round of the 2025 US Open in New York on August 26.
  • Gauff ended her collaboration with her main coach and brought on biomechanics expert Gavin MacMillan to work on improving her serve ahead of the tournament.
  • Both players struggled to hold serve during the nearly three-hour match, with Gauff double-faulting 10 times and being broken six times but showing strong net play.
  • Gauff said the match was 'really tough' and 'mentally exhausting,' adding, 'It wasn't the best, but I'm happy to get through' and aims to improve each match.
  • Gauff advanced to the second round at Flushing Meadows, continuing after winning two Grand Slam titles including the 2023 US Open, and possibly challenging top-ranked players.
