Coco Gauff is a budding superstar — and she’s exactly what women’s tennis needs Globe_Sports

She lost on Monday to Halep. That’s good news. You don’t want to overdeliver up front. Part of keeping them interested is coming on bit by bit, rather than all at once.

Gauff was ill, apparently. In the news conference afterward, she wiped away sniffles. She swivelled from side to side in her chair like a child in the principal’s office. But she was not down. She was ready to provide a closing performance to a packed room of journos. Once again, there was the odd combination of innocence and experience . Gauff – a Grade 10 kid – had the room genuinely rapt.

She has that thing. I don’t know what that thing is, but she has it. Whatever it is, women’s tennis needs it. Badly.After Gauff had finished her 10 minutes, there was a bizarre moment where it seemed possible the jackals of the press might applaud. But it passed.
