CNN —Coco Gauff has parted ways with her coach, Brad Gilbert, following a series of poor results culminating in a failed defense of her US Open title.
6 lost in the fourth round of the US Open to American Emma Navarro, who had also bested her in the fourth round at Wimbledon just months before.
“Mentally and emotionally, I gave it my all,” Gauff told reporters after her loss to Navarro.
Gilbert paid tribute to Gauff on X – formerly known as Twitter – on Wednesday, writing: “Thanks to Coco Gauff and the entire team for an absolutely amazing summer run in 2023 and for 14 months of incredible team effort.
