Sky Is the Limit for Australian Open Bound Coco Gauff as John McEnroe Lays Bare a Daunting Prophecy for the American

Coco Gauff is currently on a dream run in 2024. The 19-year-old American tennis star hasn’t lost a match yet in 2024 and is yet to drop a set at the Australian Open. Looking at her current success, American tennis legend John McEnroe heaped praise on Gauff.

Coco Gauff will take on Aryna Sabalenka later today. But before that, in a recent interview with Eurosport, McEnroe revealed that he expects Coco Gauff to win more major titles. Can Gauff fulfill his wish and clinch her second Grand Slam title at the 2024 Australian Open?

‘She’s not as big as the other players’ – John McEnroe is holding high hopes for Coco Gauff

Coco Gauff’s last Grand Slam triumph came at the US Open last year when she defeated Aryna Sabalenka by 2-6,6-3,6-2 at the Arthur Ashe Stadium. That was the day when the world started to recognize her true potential at the bigger stages of the game. Almost 4 months passed since that historic feat. What’s ahead for Coco Gauff shortly?

John McEnroe is very confident about Gauff’s success in the upcoming days. He said, “You know, I look at Coco a little bit like Alcaraz against some of the bigger hitters. It’s similar with her. She’s not as big as the other players and but she’s extremely athletic, the way Alcaraz is. I expect her to win more Majors. She will definitely win more majors. She seems to be in a good place. Mentally, she added some pieces to her team such as Brad Gilbert and is working with Andy Roddick and you can see the improvements on her serve.”

Coco Gauff will take on the defending champion at the semifinals of the Australian Open at the Rod Laver Arena. Can the 19YO stop Sabalenka from winning her second consecutive final appearance at the AO?

Aryna Sabalenka is preparing for the ‘revenge’ she wants in the semi-final match

Sabalenka is currently on a devastating form at the Melbourne Slam. They have met each other 6 times in their career. Although Gauff leads the H2H with a 4-2 margin, Sabalenka will surely look forward to repeating the heroics from 12 months ago.

Here’s what she said on her epic battle against the American star, “After the US Open, I really wanted that revenge. It’s always a great battle against Coco, really great fights. I’m happy to play her and I’m super excited to play the semi-final match. She’s moving really well. Everything you do on the court is coming back. She’s a great player, and I’m really excited to play her.”
