Coco Gauff is on fire at the WTA Finals, showing the world exactly why she’s the player to watch. With every match, she’s outshining her opponents, and her recent showdown against Iga Swiatek was no exception. It’s a run that’s turning heads and winning her fans from all corners of the tennis community. Among her latest admirers? None other than Serena Williams’s former coach, Rennae Stubbs, who didn’t hold back in her praise.
The American sensation is currently playing against the former World No. 1 and has already clinched the first set 6-3. She shot only two double faults in the set to keep Swiatek behind and inch closer to a victory. This intrigued Williams’ former coach who took to her X account and wrote, “Coco hit 2 DFs in the first set and wins it, if she keeps that stat low she wins. Currently has hit 3 in this first game of the 2nd set, so she must maintain her serving at a high level or this will go 3. Her tennis is too good right now to lose this match unless the DFs climb.” She also lauded the high intensity of the match and slammed the critics who often take digs at women’s tennis and call it ‘boring.’
