"Future is incredibly bright" for Coco Gauff as she announces split with coach Brad Gilbert

Coco Gauff and coach Brad Gilbert are no longer working together, two weeks after the American tennis player's early exit from the US Open.

"Coco, at just 20 years young, your future is incredibly bright, and I wish you nothing but continued success ahead," Gilbert wrote on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday (18 September).

Under Gilbert's tutelage, Gauff won her first grand slam at the 2023 US Open, but the defence of her title a year later ended in the fourth round. The 20-year-old was the Team USA flagbearer at the Paris 2024, but lost in the third round of the women's singles.

In announcing the split, she posted on social media "We had an incredible run and I wish you all the best in the future!"
