Coco Gauff played her maiden Grand Slam final earlier this year in her favourite city Paris and Naomi Osaka thinks her time will soon come.
Naomi Osaka won a couple of grand slams over the years and the Japanese player is fairly certain Coco Gauff will be lifting her maiden Grand Slam rather soon. Gauff is playing superb tennis at the moment and she will face Osaka later tonight in San Jose with a chance to score a win over the 4-time Grand Slam champion.
Speaking about Gauff ahead of their clash, Naomi said:
"She's been on the tour for a while, and I think people don't know that because of how young she is. She's improving every year, so I think there's a lot that she's learning. It's only a matter of time before she wins a [Grand] Slam."
It almost happened earlier this year in Paris where Gauff took on Iga Swiatek in the Roland Garros final but the Polish player simply proved too strong. Gauff is also fairly close to making her top 10 debut which will come later this year and possibly at the US Open where she will be favoured to go deep.
