Coco Gauff explains what she’s just realised about the top 10 ranked players on the WTA Tour

Her Olympic campaign was just as disappointing as her Wimbledon one, with the 20-year-old unable to live up to expectation.

With Gauff suffering a premature exit in Toronto to Diana Shnaider, worrying signs are quietly emerging with the American yet to find the consistent high-level of tennis that she produced at the French Open in June.

Under a month away from the start of the US Open, where she gloriously won last year, American hopes have been largely rejuvenated by other players successes across the WTA tour.

However with Gauff still ranked second in the world and above her compatriots she will have the weight of the nation on her shoulders as she looks for her second major singles title.

At just 20 years old, Gauff has already achieved major success in both the singles and doubles and is far younger than many of her top 10 colleagues – something she admits she’s only now considered.

Speaking to the Cincinnati Open press before the tournament, she said: “I’m 20, I have a long way to go. most of my competitors in the Top 10 are 24 and older, other than Iga [Swiatek, who is 23]. I have time.
