TOKYO: Teenage tennis sensation Cori Gauff's first coach Sly Black has backed the American to become the world's best.
"I have seen Martina Hingis, I have seen Jennifer Capriati at 12-years-old but Cori at 10-years-old was, in my mind, the best 10-year-old tennis player to ever play this sport."Gauff, also known as Coco, has played a fearless brand of tennis at Wimbledon, showing a strength of character that belies her age.
"First of all, she had the physical ability, that's the first thing, then her mental toughness was way ahead of her age," said Black, who continued working with Gauff until 2015. Despite a slight waver following her win over Williams, Gauff has taken the attention in her stride so far at the All England Club."I have seen her do things at a young age or win games at a young age that she is not supposed to win," said Black, who witnessed Gauff, at the age 13, become the youngest to reach the U.S. Open girl's final.
