Episode Details

Coco Gauff, a top-tier tennis player, has been grappling with persistent serve issues, particularly a high number of double faults, for over two years. Despite her success, including two major titles and top-three finishes, she has topped the WTA tour in double faults, with 431 in 2023 and 430 in 2022. Her recent outburst during the Dubai tournament semifinals against Elina Svitolina revealed her growing frustration. Experts attribute her struggles to mechanical problems, such as grip and toss issues, exacerbated by mental pressure. Her coach, Gavin MacMillan, who previously helped Aryna Sabalenka, joined her team last fall to address these issues. The focus now is on targeted fixes to improve her serve, while maintaining perspective on her overall elite game.
