Tennis coach Brad Gilbert breaks down Coco Gauff's first U.S. Open victory

[@beautifulgirl1375]

Coco and Brad are a fantastic duo. So glad their first Grand Slam victory happened here in the US.

[@teresamcclellan3228]

Me too. It was a beautiful thing to watch. I am so proud of her.

[@KimMorgan-hc3rk]

All said and done, years after Mr Gauf pointed young Coco in the right direction tennis wise,we do thank you coach Brad for, apparently, polishing this gentle gem Coco,to perfection!

Mr. Gauf damn near wrecked her career 😅

[@carolebienvenu2037]

Thank you Mr. Gilbert! Your assessment is spot on.

[@Jonathan-xt6jw]

For Brad, I think it's a dream come true to work with a player like Gauff. She has such a wide skill set that anything he gives her strategically to implement she doesn't have to develop, she can implement it right away. What a player!

[@michaelnurse9089]

Once is randomness. Twice is coincidence. Thrice is a genius at work.

[@pinklady5795]

Coco made a good choice bringing Brad on the team! They make a great team! Congrats to them both and her parents!

Teamwork makes the dream work. It was group effort. Family friends fans and coaches. Great work all

Totally Got The Picture!!!!!

[@nomvuladlamini4618]

As a South African, I am so very happy for Coco Gauff ... I remember watching her play as a 17 yr old and I thought she has a great future ahead, I knew her first Grand Slam would come soon! Congratulations, and I wish her more slams into the future❤❤❤🎉

[@TheTransfiguredLife]

She's impressive! I'm so happy for her! ☦️

[@Enjoywatchingyoutube8227]

I do believe Brad added to Coco's game in preparation over the last few months but it's a team effort and the parents laid the foundation for her. I think her forehand has improved especially in her footwork as she is less jumpy and more planted to hit the ball soundly

[@sircasm6578]

Wrong... She was in free fall to the bottom before she brought him on. Her dad's ego was holding her up

[@michaelmaps2004]

You are right. Brad just pushed her further to the finishing line

[@robinvolpi]

​@@sircasm6578Sure pal

[@PL2550Dolphins]

@@sircasm6578 Her dad's ego? Typical garbage; I wonder what it is about her father that makes you feel the need to spew that stupidity? Her parents (especially her father) are steadfast and humble. It was her father who knew he had to step back and allow others to help Coco take that next step.

[@sircasm6578]

@@PL2550Dolphins No.. it was her dad's unwillingness to admit he wasn't qualified for the job that resulted in her first-round exit at Wimbledon. Fortunately, she was smart enough to correct that situation and bring in someone qualified. Her dad's a nice guy don't get me wrong, but he was a mid college basketball player. That's his resume.

[@stevenmeyer9674]

"Winning ugly" was Brad's personal motto.

[@m.w.976]

I hope BG & CoCo agree to continue working together. Three trophies in as many months after bringing BG into the fold of Team Gauff? Massively impressive!

She bossed the whole USO swing.

Take the credit Brad. Thank you for taking Coco to the next level. Much appreciated from a fan! She needed you & Coach Pera.

[@W4TSKY]

Brad Gilbert the BOSS! Excited to see him and the rest of Coco’s new team have a full season together

[@bpraise517]

So humble...He's on the TEAM...interesting how she followed Djokovic all year.

[@W4TSKY]

Djokovic himself said a few days before the Open that Coco was ready to win a grand slam and all the things are coming together for her. He wasn’t wrong lol

[@trommelbiel]

Wow. It takes a tree to make a forest. Brad was the salf in the soup. Thank God Coco did not continue with the French man Patrick 🙏

[@SuperWhofan1]

When he started coaching Agassi, they won the US Open together months later.

[@Ask-a-Rocket-Scientist]

I’m so glad they brought BG onto the team. Winning ugly is still winning.

[@lauralangham9657]

Brad is such a fantastic coach, he's worked with everyone ! Excellent.

[@Widmer09]

Brad is the master of "winning ugly" method :) What I noticed is Coco's defense game improved dramatically from where she was a year ago.

[@m.theresa1385]

Such an epic win! The first is the sweetest. Wishing many more grand slams (and Olympic) wins for this super skilled young player. At her age and with her talent she will only get better. Congratulations Coco, Brad, and team!

[@puarezentes9483]

It's because of Brad Gilbert. She is gonna go places with him on her coaching staff.

[@mariadmful]

You are so humble inspite of your very successful coaching career👏Coco really is very lucky to have you in her team👍🏻

[@bflathead]

I think he’s being very modest here. He provided valuable strategic insight to help her with each opponent. Great job coach 👍

[@fred4peace]

But surely he could not credit but hope that he added value.

[@Toph.Beifong.]

​@@fred4peaceCoco always had talent but she wasnt even close to winning anything, as soon as Brad a legendary coach came on her team, she became like a mini Serena

[@mikeJOnes-sc9cs]

no one better than BRAD

[@SDSFG45]

I remember that era when Agassi was not playing well....there were a number of dramas unfolding in his life...him and Brooke Shields were having marital issues...and you could tell he was probably burnt out and distracted. My Dad and I saw him play a match, where he was basically kicking the can down the road...he was tanking, and it was obvious. I couldnt believe it, really. After the match ends and Andre jammed his racquets in the courtside cooler, before he split..my Pops leaned over to me, and said these words "If he doesnt get BRAD GILBERT to coach him, he will never make it back". My jaw dropped, because Brad was still playing, but had made it known OUT LOUD, that he was winding down and might entertain coaching one day. My Dad predicted that relationship, like it was the most rational thing, he'd ever thought of.

[@ms.ronaldmonroe8779]

Wow Brad is the Man!! 🎾

I don't like this interviewer. Alas. That's irrelevant. Congratulations Coco on an amazing win, and congratulations Brad for fantastic coaching!

[@sunnyram6714]

coco was a different player than she was when she lost in a grand slam final with iga. Looks like current combination is really working as she has beaten top seeds to win the US Open. Hope she wins more

[@davidtownsend916]

He teaches like he played winning ugly or playing your B game. He teaches patience and making the opponent hit one more shot than they are used too

I hear what you're saying and I agree. But I think it's worse when they say they have such courage. When they're hitting a ball down-the-line. Courage is a single mom working 2 jobs. Don't be so angry with this resilience is a lot less.

You can thank the American media for that. As if her winning the US open was only due to her new coach. All those years of daddy's work ignored by some section of the media. Glad she knows of daddy's effort. Glad she is now in Mr Gilbert's hand now. Everyone contributed to her success.

[@sircasm6578]

You're a complete and total tennis novice. Her dad was ruining her career with his stubbornness. She was in a free-fall to the bottom after Wimbledon. She's damn near undefeated since bringing Brad on. Go for a walk 🙄

[@al1976-v7m]

No one denies the family laid the foundation, but often an outside voice is necessary, and Gilbert's voice certainly carries weight. He has a knack for getting more out of players.

[@seensay2132]

The two aren’t mutually exclusive. It’s obvious the parents did everything for her. Including know when to defer to a new coach after a first round loss at Wimbledon. She’s been the best player on tour since that collaboration. Can’t deny Coach G’s impact. But that doesn’t take anything away from her parents

[@Ask-a-Rocket-Scientist]

If he can fix her forehand, she is going to be the next Serena.

[@ntsakoshilubane5025]

There’s nothing wrong with her forehand , she won three good tournaments with forehand beating the best

[@Ask-a-Rocket-Scientist]

@@ntsakoshilubane5025 she barely beat these players with her legs rather her shots. Everyone knows her forehand is her weakest attribute. Djoker won the Australian Open with a weak serve but when he turned into a strength he became the GOAT.

There were multiple coaching sides all over the court. Zero respect to the other players double false,dues all made happy such RED mark for us open women tennis champion ship match I had ever seen. Even ESPN also played the game from the second set. they didn't commentary anything, only very quiet. The match live didn't show above the stadium because many setups had done to win . Extremely one side ajanda from the beginning of the tournament, including scheduling, it was made Iga lost the match In my opinion, WTA CONSIDER implemented several rules and stopped couching , I don't think Coco can win outside of the country because there are rules and discipline to follow.

[@Toph.Beifong.]

Horrendus take. Shes playing beautiful tennis and attacking often. As if every player needs to hit like Osaka or Swiatek to win

[@cola7ups823]

Cheating is not a strategy. They became concerned when she had to go 3 sets with the first p#ss poor opponents she had. Therefore, they had to go back to the drawing board. Next, they knew that she would not get pass the remaining players, so they scheduled Swiatek, Ostapenko, Rybankina late night matches, After Ostapenko defeated Iga, they scheduled her match early in 100 degree heat so she could not recover. Then it was smooth sailing for her. As expected, Muchova did not do sh$t. And a protest was staged to push Sabalenka's match to almost 3 hours late into the night. Now that Brad Gilbert's fantasy has been fulfilled, lets see if any other countries buy into it. Because a fantasy only last so long. So lets how she does without a RIGGED tournament.
