Coco Gauff’s return to the US Open is framed by a noticeable change from last year, when issues with her serve led to distress during matches. Multiple reports point to an earlier US Open moment in which Gauff is shown practicing in the rain and crying on court, highlighting how her performance felt under strain at the time.
This time, coverage emphasizes that the same part of her game has become a stronger weapon. The narrative across outlets is that Gauff’s serve has improved, and that she arrives at the tournament with better outcomes and greater confidence in that element of her play.
While outlets focus on the contrast between last year’s difficulties and her current form, they do not offer detailed, competing statistics or broader controversy in the material provided. Instead, the emphasis remains on her development since the previous US Open and how her serving is now a key factor in her results at the tournament.
