Gauff looks to future with bold coaching change before US Open

Coco Gauff hired biomechanics coach Gavin MacMillan to address her 320 double faults this season, aiming for long-term improvement beyond the US Open.

  • Gauff recently announced a coaching change ahead of the US Open, parting ways with her former coach to seek fresh guidance on her game.
  • Serve problems—including 16 double faults in Cincinnati—have led to concern as Gauff's 2025 total reaches 320, over 100 more than any other WTA player this year.
  • Gauff cited MacMillan's past success in helping Aryna Sabalenka and said, `I know Gavin has had experience with this before, so hoping I can just take on his knowledge and see what can happen`.
  • Practising in the rain on Wednesday, Coco Gauff acknowledged time is short before her Tuesday first‑round match against Ajla Tomljanovic and reshuffled her team to fix her serve.
  • Observers say the move extends beyond a single Grand Slam, noting Aryna Sabalenka's quick improvement may not mirror Coco Gauff's long-term development focus this year.
