I could completely change the game with her second serve and forehand," says Rick Macci about Gauff's issues
Coco Gauff, eliminated in the Round of 16 in Montreal, struggled throughout her week in Canada, committing a total of 43 double faults in three matches, for example.
Serve troubles that have been present since the start of the season but didn’t stop the American from securing her second Grand Slam title at Roland Garros.
Legendary coach Rick Macci, who often comments on Gauff’s performances, was interviewed about this by Tennis365:
"If I had to help someone, it would be Coco Gauff. There’s no doubt that I could completely change the game with her second serve and forehand.
But it would have to be done during the off-season. Last year, they were going to take time to rebuild her serve. But you know, when you start winning a little, that technical flaw can be somewhat masked.
