Two players are leading the way for the American hope at a US Open crown.
Coco Gauff left Wimbledon after a first-round exit with a misfiring forehand and a need for some soul-searching.A new team, new temperament and better play on the court has made her one of the favorites at Flushing Meadows beginning Monday.
The teen already beat World No. 1 Iga Swiatek, and her newfound confidence gives her a shot to unseat the defending champ.“Just confidence and trusting myself,” Gauff said. “I trust the work I’ve done in practice. I hope I can continue to translate that into matches. Just trusting myself. Obviously have the new team around me. Seeing a different perspective can just change things completely. I have a new perspective and I’m enjoying it a lot.
“Obviously she’s developing. She’s a hard worker. For sure, yeah, you saw the progress,” Swiatek said. “Mentally she has shown that she can win these tournaments.”Having won the Canadian Open earlier this month, she’s looking for a breakthrough to finally get past the quarterfinals in Flushing Meadows. Still, even she sees Gauff as the future of the game.“That Wimbledon loss seemed to really drive her to want to improve and get better.
Tiafoe beat Rafael Nadal and Andrey Rublev last year before he pushed eventual champ Carlos Alcaraz to a fifth set in the semis.
