Coco Gauff's coach, Brad Gilbert, opened up about the American's similarity with Andre Agassi

Coco Gauff's coach, Brad Gilbert, was also the ex-coach of Andre Agassi for eight years, from 1994 to 2002. He sat in a conversation with Vogue in March 2024, and opened up about a trait of Agassi that Gauff has. He revealed that she always wants to be a perfectionist, just like the eight-time Grand Slam winner.

Gilbert said that he personally did not like this trait, as it only makes the players miserable.

"Coco definitely shares a big-time trait with Andre Agassi in that she’s a perfectionist. Crazy perfectionist. That’s probably the thing from early on I noticed instantly. And I told her, ‘The pursuit of perfection doesn’t exist. It makes you miserable, chasing it. And you’re never satisfied with being good,’" said Gilbert.

He added:

"She’s just always gotta be better. Andre was the same. And it’s like, ‘You only gotta be better than the lady on the other side of the net.’ That’s it. This whole being-better-than-you-need-to-be costs you a lot of matches."

Apart from the WTA finals, Coco Gauff also delivered stellar performances in other tournaments, such as the Wuhan Open, where she reached the semifinals but fell short of qualifying for the final after being bested by Aryna Sabalenka.

The 20-year-old also won the China Open title after beating Karolina Muchova 6-1, 6-3.
