Gauff gets the break back with good returns and good defence 2 all 2nd set
Good aggressive returning form Coco, breaks and leads 4-2 in the 2nd set
Coco leads 5-2 2nd set
Coco needs to close her out now..her stroke selection is still below average or where she was last year

Coco will serve for the match 5-3
Better display of tennis from Coco today, her serve, using more variety for startes

Yes it does, what I am liking is that she is using more variety in her serve, she tried to be aggressive also in this match, not tentative like she has been playing

We'll get a glimpse to the future of women's tennis in that 3rd round match between Mirra Andreeva and Coco Gauff.

Either player is not the future of tennis, Coco has too many things in her game she has to correct, also the youngster has a long way to go, there are other players I would put before Mirra,

Of course when I say Bibi is playing well she is down a break in the 2nd set lol!
Bibi got the break back on serve 5 all in the 2nd set
Bibi wins in SS 61 64 and moves on, well done Bibi!

I am beginning to think that you just don't like Coco for whatever reason.Time will tell,and whether she is the standard of the tour or not,she is fulfilling her dream of playing and making seven figures in the process.You don't know her future at all and at 19years she has time to improve and be who she was created to be.

Read my post about Coco I do like her, though there are other players that are better at the moment, like Iga for example a player you do not like, she has time to correct the things in her game, I hope her new coach can correct her technique on her fhand for instance, I also think players like Saba and Rybakina are better players than Coco at present,her results this year have been sub par and she is not playing to her ranking of No 6 in the world at present

It wasn't me.. jajaja
@don_fabio check out a replay of Keys match vs Day( I never heard of the player ) Why does her team ( including Davenport) allows Madison to get away with such a big back swing on her FH..I remember earlier in my life my tennis coach really wanted me to shorten the back swing to really put foot to ball. I think it's the reason this ballbasher has so many brainless UFEs

All Coco needs is to listen to Patrick M to mimick Serena's game. Also, she needs to spend time with Serena to learn how to quit being so NICE and become an merciless assassin IMO.
