Wimbledon 2019: Teen prodigy Coco Gauff's intelligence and experienced support system look set to keep her fresh for long haul

Firstpost  

There is no doubt Gauff is a special talent; with an effective transition, we could well be looking at the birth of yet another World No 1 — and on her own terms. Reams of newsprint last week were dedicated to the genius of 15-year-old Cori ‘Coco’ Gauff, who last year, at 14, was the French Open girls’ singles champion, and this year ousted the former World No 1 Venus Williams at Wimbledon, a tournament she has won five times. Some of the biggest names in the sport had already hit it big in their teens after being noticed early — not in the very least Gauff’s own idols, Venus and Serena Williams. But even as Roger Federer and Gauff’s father, Corey Gauff, who played college basketball, call for rule changes, perhaps this rule is one that is better left as it is.
