Macci offers to turn Coco’s forehand into potent weapon
The HinduAs Coco Gauff ponders a fortnight without tennis following her first-round loss at Wimbledon, she might be tempted to phone one of the sport’s most accomplished coaches who would love to turn her suspect forehand into the most powerful shot in her armoury. Rick Macci has coached many star players over a long career, including Venus and Serena Williams, Maria Sharapova, Jennifer Capriati and Andy Roddick - and he would love to add Gauff to his roster. “For me, she’s the best athlete on the tour, she’s an Olympic sprinter with a racket in her hand,” Macci said in comments to OLBG, a sports betting community. It could go from her weakest shot to her best shot.” As Gauff decides whether or not to take Macci up on his offer, one thing she may consider - his resume also includes coaching her Wimbledon conqueror Kenin.
