“I have not met Coco Gauff… She’s got such an effortless style and raw talent” – When Steffi Graf explained why she had no advice for American
Tennis legend Steffi Graf recently shared her thoughts on Coco Gauff, expressing admiration for the young American’s raw ability and joy on the court—while admitting she had no advice to offer.
“I have not met her [Coco Gauff]. But I’ve caught a few of her matches on TV,” Graf said. “It doesn’t seem like she needs much advice,” she laughed. “Watching her, you can tell she’s enjoying herself out there. The intensity, athleticism—it’s all there.”
Graf added,
“It’ll be amazing to follow her career in the coming years. She has such an effortless style and raw talent. Honestly, I don’t think she needs anything from me.”
Gauff has emerged as one of the WTA’s brightest stars, drawing comparisons to tennis greats. Former men’s tennis star Andre Agassi recently echoed similar sentiments, saying:
“The women’s game hasn’t had to face Federer, Novak, Rafa, Sinner, and Alcaraz. But they’ve had Serena [Williams], who’s the Novak of the women’s game. And now you’ve got Coco with potential.”
