Coco Gauff has failed to hit the heights she achieved back at the start of June, when she won her first Roland Garros title. After being knocked out in the Cincinnati quarter-finals, there are a lot of questions being asked about one specific part of her game.
The American number one had a bitterly disappointing but brief grass campaign, playing and losing two games in Berlin and Wimbledon. She attempted to bounce back at the Canadian Open, but after sneaking past fellow American Danielle Collins and Cincinnati semi-finalist Veronika Kudermetova, she was halted in her tracks by an 18-year-old Victoria Mboko, who not only knocked out the number one seed but went on to win the event, attracting attention from the whole tennis world.
