Renowned tennis coach Rick Macci, who has worked with legends like Serena Williams, Venus Williams, and Maria Sharapova, has boldly predicted that rising star Coco Gauff will one day claim the world No. 1 spot. Currently ranked No. 3 in the WTA Rankings, the 20-year-old American has already made waves with her exceptional talent, including winning the 2023 US Open and her recent victory at the China Open.
Macci, who took to Twitter to express his confidence in Gauff, praised several key aspects of her game, calling her “number One” in areas such as quickness, make-up speed, backbone, and her slice serve. Despite some struggles with her forehand and serve this season, Macci is certain that Gauff will soon top the rankings.
Gauff’s 2024 season has seen consistent performances, reaching the semi-finals at the Australian and French Opens and winning her second WTA 1000 title in Beijing. As she prepares for her third appearance at the WTA Finals in Riyadh, Gauff is poised to continue her ascent in the tennis world, with Macci’s glowing endorsement further fueling expectations for her future.
