Coco Gauff's recent defeat at the Stuttgart Open raised concerns about her form. While the American hired coach Matt Daly back in September 2024 to work on the technicalities of her serve, the numbers narrate a different story. In her last 18 matches of the ongoing season, Coco Gauff attained disappointing results as she hit 121 double faults in 18 singles matches.

However, serve wasn't the only reason for her defeat at the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix. Her rival, Jasmine Paolini, admitted to being highly aggressive while approaching Gauff as the quarterfinal rival.

“I think I played aggressively, and I was so consistent, not too many mistakes. I think I did a great match at the end," she said, in a post match interview.

After the last setback, Gauff is now preparing herself for the upcoming competition in Madrid. Her opening showdown is set to commence on Friday, 25th April.
