The hole gets smaller as you get older, but it’s still a hole, especially when you feel pressure,”?said Patrick Mouratoglou.

While Gauff’s potential to clinch Grand Slam titles is indisputable, the path to tennis domination, according to Mouratoglou, hinges on addressing these technical issues at a young age.

“There’s a little bit of a speed bump on Coco’s forehand and serve. She’s gonna win grand slams, but to dominate, you know, that has to be addressed,” he further added.

Despite the shortcomings that she needs to fill, Patrick believes that Coco has a lot to offer to the game.
