Coco Gauff's coach Brad Gilbert delighted for articulate and humble champion. Chris Evert sings...
Daily Mail Veteran coach and analyst Brad Gilbert quickly noticed two things first hand, after accepting an offer in late July to work with new US Open champion Coco Gauff.
Not only was she eager to work hard and learn, she was also mature well beyond her 19 years, highly articulate and empathetic.
He was so impressed that he even told an associate that he expected her to win at Flushing Meadows after her early Wimbledon exit, circling in September 9 on the calendar as the day it would all come to fruition.
She has a great ability to communicate for a young person, pointed out Gilbert, finally emerging from the celebrations which took place on Arthur Ashe Stadium following Gauffs victory over new world No 1 Aryna Sabalenka. Her acceptance speech had been another example of how clearly she expresses herself.
Coco speaks incredibly well, added Gilbert. Most importantly she is very humble and down to earth and she understands what she is doing. Her poise is incredible. She works hard and wants to get better, thats the only thing that matters.
