On June 22, 2025, world No. 2 Coco Gauff, fresh off her 2025 French Open singles title, is reportedly maintaining high spirits during her intense Wimbledon training by engaging in playful, competitive activities with her team, per @NewsSportGlobe. The 21-year-old American, known for her infectious energy, has been “punishing” her coaches and support staff with lighthearted challenges, such as sprint races and agility drills, to foster camaraderie and keep morale elevated ahead of the Championships, starting June 30, per WTA Tennis. Gauff, who reached the fourth round at Wimbledon in 2019 and 2021 but fell to Emma Navarro in 2024, is focusing on adapting her forehand and serve for grass courts, aiming to overcome her 430 double faults in 2024, the highest on tour, per The New Yorker.
Her training, conducted in Delray Beach, Florida, emphasizes footwork and mental resilience, drawing on her early coaching with Patrick Mouratoglou, who praised her “determination, athleticism, and fighting spirit” at age 10, per Wikipedia. Gauff’s upbeat approach, including joking about “beating” her team in drills, echoes her 2019 Wimbledon debut where she defeated Venus Williams, sparking “Cocomania,” per The Guardian. Despite a recent first-round loss to Wang Xinyu in Berlin, Gauff remains optimistic, stating, “I’m ready to get back and start training for Wimbledon and try to pull that off,” per Good Morning America. X posts, like @NewsSportGlobe, highlight her “keeping spirits high” through team engagement, per.
