Despite still being without a huge trophy to her name, Coco Gauff is one of the best tennis players in the world.
Petar Popovic, a former Serbian player and coach, showered Gauff in praise during a recent interview on the Craig Shapiro Tennis podcast. He applauded her assertive manner and said he expected her to become number one in the future.
"She is an incredible mover with explosive power," Popovic explained.
"On clay or very slow hard, she's good because she gets a lot of spin, so she has time. She's young and her goal needs to be to improve every week, every month. I don't know her ranking, but I think she's in the top 20 and has so much room to improve, which is very good. I think she can be No. 1."
She lost to Iga Swiatek in her first grand slam final this year in Paris. She also had a strong performance in Flushing Meadows, although she was defeated before the final. The WTA Finals, which will be held in the US, will also be a major chance for a big trophy for her.
