“A New Sheriff Is Coming to Town” – Coco Gauff’s Big WTA Finals Win Sparks a Surprising Prediction From Serena Williams’ Ex-Coach

Coco Gauff’s remarkable victory at the WTA Finals has firmly established her as one of the most promising talents in women’s tennis. Overcoming fierce competitors like Jessica Pegula, Iga Swiatek, and World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka, Gauff reached the final and clinched the title against Qinwen Zheng in a grueling three-set battle.

This win made her the youngest WTA Finals champion since Maria Sharapova in 2004 and the first American to hold the title in a decade. Gauff’s achievement not only highlights her skill but also her resilience throughout a season filled with ups and downs. Her gratitude to her fans and her growth under new coach Matt Daly reflect her drive to keep improving and reach new heights in the sport.

Gauff’s triumph has attracted the attention of tennis luminaries, including Rick Macci, former coach of Serena Williams. Macci expressed his admiration on social media, noting Gauff’s champion mindset and athletic speed, predicting that she would bring excitement to the WTA in 2025.

Rennae Stubbs, another prominent figure and former coach of Serena, also praised Gauff’s improved serve, which she previously identified as key to Gauff’s success. Stubbs had even predicted that if Gauff kept her double faults under six per match, she would secure the title—a forecast that proved accurate.

As Gauff looks forward to the 2025 season with renewed confidence and momentum, the tennis world is eager to see if she can continue her ascent and become the next American powerhouse in the sport.
