Coco Gauff makes French Open coach plan after being linked with Williams mentor

“According to him, he’s been in touch with Coco’s father about possibly spending some time to obviously try to fix that forehand,” McEnroe mentioned on the Holding Court podcast. “Because everyone knows the forehand swing and the approach on the brow could be very shaky.

“And Rick said to me, if he could spend a solid amount of time with her, he thinks she can win multiple multiple majors because right now it’s not solid enough off the forehead that he believes she can do it at the moment.”

And Gauff herself has addressed her forehand ahead of the French Open, claiming that it was one of her weapons on the clay despite needing some work. “I mean, obviously the forehand is something that I have to improve on, but on clay especially I feel like it’s one of my weapons,” she said. “Last year, I mean, I have won a lot of points using that heavy forehand, and I think that that’s something I continue to do this year.”
