Coco clearly has been putting in the work to improve her forehand and it shows. A well deserved title win. Congrats.

[@cuentaacademica3613]

Yes, the new coach is improving her drive technique; nonetheless it is of the utmost importance to refine the soft touch needed to execute proper slices and volleys. In this match she lost plenty of points because of unforced errors related to net plays that required finesse and subtlety. She is a force of nature, despite all the missplays she physically overpowered Karolina with cheer strength and potency, so imagine how much she can grow.

[@fadumojesto4308]

Well done Coco.A great win over Muchova in the lead up to NY. Well done Muchova and good luck as well. Best wishes Coco.🎾🇺🇸💐🎾

Coco congrats to you and your coaching staff, they coach and you execute you played a wonderful masters 1000 tournament your first title at that level, keep working on your game there is lots of room for improvement you are already talented more success is waiting for you put in the hard work.

[@andrewmark2783]

Actually her coach has said they are NOT doing anything differently with the forehand. The reason she's more consistent with it is because she isn't being nagged about it all the time, so she's hitting with less tension.

[@vinhbuidoi246]

It is nice to see players hug at the end. Congrats to Gauff, hope to see more Muchova.

@@andrewthompson7707 Who knows how Coco will do at this year’s US open. 🎾🤞🏽 It is a bust for many players too during Grand Slams until they found their own way to victory (look at Sabalenka who finally won a GS in Australia). Every player has their journey and not everyone will get a Grand Slam quickly or some may get it too quickly before they have matured as a player then become a struggling player which can sometimes be because of injuries (see Sofia Kenin, Emma Raducanu, Sloane Stephens, etc). COCO will win a Grand Slam one day or at least she and her fans believe so 🙏🏽😀🎾🎾👍🏽

For Coco's age, I am blown away by her poise, focus and mental strength. She is well spoken and far beyond her years. Shows what parenting can do when done right. So proud of your accomplishments... well done. Mr and Mrs Guaff, you raised a great human.

[@nanettepollock9318]

I totally agree. She proud and happy for COCO!

[@piqo44]

She's young but very experienced for her age. When I was listening Swiatek-Coco preview before semifinal, someone compared number of their matches in professional career, Swiatek had 320, Coco 250. Even though Coco is 3 years younger in terms of played games its more like 1 season difference. It means she already put huge effort in her development.

[@dadsfreetimeclassicgaming1220]

LOL "well spoken"...you must be in your 70s or something. We all took a vote in the 90s. You don't say that about black folks unless you want them to roll their eyes the moment they turn away from you. Its right up there with "A credit to your race"

[@Luna-17]

Massive career milestones for Gauff after some much needed game/coaching changes: A. 1st win over her nemesis Iga! B. 1st 1000 title!

[@cypher31]

Gauff has been playing with a renewed sense of confidence since bringing Gilbert on board and winning in Washington. Now beating Iga and snagging a 1000 title, both firsts, will give her tons of confidence heading into the US Open where she will be a contender instead of a question mark.

[@nanettepollock9318]

With Coco's hardwork, perseverance and dedication. It paid off. So happy for you and CONGRATULATIONS COCO!

[@postive-vibes]

With Brad Gilbert's influence and her own ambition, Coco seems to be making the jump to the next level. She is in the conversation for any major titles from here on out. The WTA keeps getting more wide open.

[@Tennisisreallyfun]

I agree. The media really overhyped her when she first appeared on the tennis scene. She was talented, for sure, but she still had a long way to develop and mature. Now with her run at Rolland Garros and this new Masters 1000 title, she’s starting to hit her stride and you really said it correctly when you mentioned that, from here on out, she’s definitely “in the conversation” for any major title if she continues to maintain and improve upon this high level. Well said!

[@OHW313]

More players have to go to the net more often so as to put a different kind of pressure/stress on their opponents. It certainly beats long rallies where all you are doing is biding your time waiting for your opponent to finally hit a winner , rather than you getting the winner by forcing the issue at the net.😮😮😮😮😮😮
