Cori Gauff is currently in Rome, where she will try to have a head start after losing the last 2 matches. The American sensation will face Yulia Putintseva in the first round. Cori Gauff and Yulia Putintseva have never played each other.

During a recent interview, Coco explained that she has been working on her serve: “One of the things that I’m working on in my game is definitely my serve, making sure I can get that kick serve out wide to get the ball above my opponents’ shoulders.”

Coco is just 17-year-old and she does not have a lot of experience on tour. Therefore, she played in Rome only once and that was last year when she lost in 3 sets to Garbine Muguruza in the second round. Even if Gauff is always focused on winning, that was still a good result since the Spaniard is extremely strong on clay.
