Coco Gauff is likely to be on the lookout for a new coach after parting ways with Brad Gilbert after 14 months together.

Many tennis fans want Gauff to hire Wim Fissette, who has only recently split from fellow WTA star Naomi Osaka.

It remains to be seen what the future holds for Gilbert, but he is likely to land a top role next given his respect within the game.

Osaka has quickly moved on to Patrick Mouratoglou, but Gauff would be wise to take more time to make her decision.

After runs to the semi-finals of the Australian Open and French Open, fourth round exits were suffered at Wimbledon and the US Open.

The latter was particularly disappointing given that the American youngster had stormed to a maiden Grand Slam title in Flushing Meadows in 2023.

Her fellow US Open winner Andy Roddick has now shared his thoughts on the decision to part with Gilbert, with Roddick telling Tennis Channel: “I don’t know that I was shocked, it’s been a bit of a rough year.

“What I’m curious about going forward is, is there going to be a co-coach situation, is there going to be a name-brand coach? Is this something that she enjoyed looking back on, or was the attention of the relationship a negative?

“Obviously out of the gates it was stunning success, right? You would trade all of the tough moments for that US Open win that she had last year.
