Zendaya’s movie inspired Andre Agassi’s former coach to join Team Coco Gauff

When Brad Gilbert started working with Zendaya for the Challengers movie, he was certain that he would continue to do this in the long run. He coached Zendaya for the movie and taught her the basics of tennis. However, during the time of the movie, he realized that he was meant to train tennis players and not limit himself to being a trainer in movies.

That is when he decided that he wanted to coach someone who had the same hunger to win as he did in his time. We truly believe that Zendaya inspired him to decide it should be Coco Gauff who he should join forces with as she has the zest it takes to reach success. And well, it turned out to be right on the money and Gauff has scripted her name in history with the help of her coach.
