Frances Tiafoe made some surprising moves in his team as he parted ways with coach Wayne Ferreira, opting for Coco Gauff's former coach.
Frances Tiafoe has been touted as a very talented player for years, but the American only recently started to really perform the way many thought he could. It was last year when Tiafoe made a breakout with a few strong performances, most notably at the US Open, where he narrowly missed out on the US Open final.
This year, Tiafoe continued playing well and was actually consistent for a chance, which saw him become a Top 10 player at one point. It seemed impossible just a few years ago because he rarely found his best tennis.
Much of what went right with Tiafoe recently has been attributed to his work ethic but also his partnership with former player Wayne Ferreira. They were a really great team, and...

Patrick Mouratoglou is at the centre of another storm, this time from irate tennis fans who criticized him for taking all the plaudits for Coco Gauff 's stunning US Open triumph.
Gauff captured her first Grand Slam title a week ago at her home Slam, beating the newly-minted World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka in three sets. She became the first American teenager to win the US Open since Serena Williams, more than two decades ago.
Mouratoflou hopped over to X in the aftermath of that victory and penned a lengthy post of his immediate reaction , congratulating Gauff and delving into their very first encounter almost 10 years ago at his tennis academy. But it was the Frenchman's recent interview with CNN at the weekend that riled up tennis fans.
Firstly, CNN were put on the spot, linking Gauff's success to the renounced French coach, labeling the young phenom as Mouratoglour's 'newest star',...

Former Atp No. 1 Mats Wilander gave a fascinating insight into the influence that celebrated American coach Brad Gilbert has had on Coco Gauff 's explosive form during the US swing.
After losing her first-round match at this year's Wimbledon , Gauff was under massive pressure to ditch her parents' advice in favor of outside counsel as part of her coaching team. At the start of the US swing, that certainly to be the case, where Gauff called on the services of Gilbert , who has previously coached some of tennis' iconic names.
In addition to her full-time coach Pere Riba, whom Gauff appointed earlier in June to replace Diego Moyano, Gilbert was sought after by the 19-year-old on a trial basis, and the impact has been instantaneous. Gauff won the two biggest titles of her career this month, including a Wta 1000 in Cincinnati .
The young American won 11 of her 12 matches across three...

Coco Gauff was seen practicing under the watchful eye of Brad Gilbert in the lead-up to this week's Citi Open in Washington.
Gilbert, who currently plies his trade as a tennis analyst, has in the past worked with former Atp number ones such as Andre Agassi, Andy Roddick, and Andy Murray. The 61-year-old Californian guided both Agassi (6) and Roddick (1) to Grand Slam title wins under his tutelage.
And now Gilbert appears to have answered Gauff's call about joining her coaching team during the North American hard-court swing, which begins in earnest at the Wta event in Washington on Monday. The general consensus is that Gauff's forehand needs massive refinement , and tennis fans backed the celebrated former player to improve it.
Gauff's partnership with Argentinean coach Diego Moyano ended in April due to personal reasons. Her father assumed the role of the primary coach until she hired former Spanish world number...

Coco Gauff shared her thoughts on her coaching situation ahead of the 2023 Italian Open after parting ways with coach Diego Moyano in April.
Only recently, the American and her coach, Diego Moyano, ended their one-year partnership. Moyano, who had joined Gauff's robust coaching team, played an instrumental role in honing the young sensation's skills, helping her evolve into a more mature player on the court.
After the split, Gauff entered the clay-court season without a coach, sparking curiosity among fans about her next move in the coaching department. Ahead of the 2023 Italian Open in Rome, Gauff was spotted practicing with Jarmere Jenkins, prompting questions about his involvement in her training.
The American tennis prodigy was candid in her response, acknowledging that Jenkins has been lending a helping hand, albeit in a "hitting partner" capacity.
"Yeah, I've been training with him while I'm, like, in between coaches. He's helping me out...

Coco Gauff will enter the clay court season without a coach and the 19-year-old is in no rush to find a replacement.
Gauff and former coach Diego Moyano recently split in a good naturued agreement after a year of working together. The decision was made after the Miami Open, where the US player struggled and was eliminated in the round of 32 following a three-set loss against Anastasia Potapova.
However, the sudden split now leaves Gauff without a coach for the foreseeable future. Speaking ahead of her next competition, the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in Stuttgart, Gauff said the decision to break wasn't her choice and she also thanked Moyano for his support of the past year.
"It wasn't really my decision. He was having some personal things going on, so he had to step down. So I would say it was something that I think both of us didn't want to happen,...

Coco Gauff's coaching relationship with Diego Moyano ended after one year due to his personal reasons.
The dynamic duo's one-year partnership saw significant accomplishments, and their amicable split comes as a surprise to many. Most recently, Gauff triumphed at the 2023 Miami Open in a doubles tournament alongside doubles partner Jessica Pegula.
Over the past year, Gauff has been on an upward trajectory, notching impressive victories and solidifying her position among the world's top tennis players. In 2022, she reached the world no. 1 rank in doubles and finished the season in the Top 10 in singles, and this year, she'll want to go even higher.
Last year, Moyano joined her already robust team, which included her father Corey Gauff, and coach Jean-Christophe Faurel. Together, they transformed the teenage sensation into a more mature player on the court.
Moyano recently released a heartfelt statement expressing gratitude for his time with Gauff and her family.
