Desperate for a Title: Coco Gauff’s Quest for Clay Court Glory

Three years without a title on clay is a long time, even longer for world No. 3 Coco Gauff. Unhappy finalist at Roland-Garros against Iga Swiatek in 2022, the American wants to put an end to this long period of scarcity and is aiming for the Paris tournament as the highlight.

“I just want to get a title on clay”

“For this season on clay I am optimistic. The objective is obviously to win Roland-Garros, but this is the case for all high-level players, she declared before entering the fray this Wednesday in Stuttgart against her compatriot Sachia Vickery. But I’m not thinking about Roland-Garros for the moment. I want to try to win Madrid, Rome or here… I just want to get a title on clay. »

Since her first title on clay at the Emilia-Romagna Open in 2021, Coco Gauff has not won anything on this surface. To see the end of this crossing of the desert, the winner of the last US Open called back her former coach Jean-Christophe Faurrel to join his staff.
