“After being ousted from Wimbledon 2024, Coco Gauff attributes her below-par performance to her coach. As an objective fan, what are your thoughts on her decision to do so? Share your comments below!”

The 2024 Wimbledon Championships saw a massive upset when World No. 2 Coco Gauff was defeated by compatriot Emma Navarro in straight sets in the fourth round. Navarro is now set to face Jasmine Paolini for a semifinal berth at this year’s grasscourt Major.

The visible communication breakdown between Gauff and her coaching staff during the match also grabbed headlines. Gauff looked at her player’s box but did not receive the feedback she was hoping for several times during the match.

In her post-match press conference, the young American stated that she and her team had a bad day as they were not on the same page. However Gauff took responsibility for her loss saying that she was the one playing on the court and therefore the onus was on her.

“I felt as today, I don’t think we were all in sync, but it’s no one’s blame except myself. I’m the player out there, I have to make decisions about myself on the court,” Gauff siad in her post match press conference.

Gauff played an error-ridden match against Navarro. She made 15 unforced errors in the second set alone and had a first-serve percentage of only 54%. The American player’s forehand completely fell off, giving the advantage to her opponent.

Gauff was visibly frustrated with her coach during her 4R match.

As the match against Navarro progressed, Gauff could not keep a check on her emotions. As more and more unforced errors came from her racquet, and Navarro seemed to run away with the match, Gauuf’s frustration boiled over at her coach Brad Gilbert.

“Tell me something, you’re not saying anything,” Gauff addressed her coach during the match.

Fans of the tennis community were not impressed with the American’s on-court behavior and decided to call her out on it.

Gauff’s overall body language in the entire match seemed fairly pessimistic with the player refraining from playing her usual brand of aggressive tennis.
