Coco Gauff's new coach ignoring 'hundreds of texts' over American's weakness




Coco Gauff recently enlisted a new mentor in Brad Gilbert - the former coach of Andy Murray and Andre Agassi. 


And her new hire proved successful immediately when she won her biggest career title in Washington last week. Gilbert has now admitted that he has been ignoring “hundreds of texts” about how people think he should help Gauff get to the next level.


Gauff switched up her team a few weeks ago, bringing in Pere Riba ahead of the Eastbourne International.



And they were joined by Gilbert at last week’s Mubadala Citi DC Open - who has taken on something of an assistant coach role on a trial basis. 


The 61-year-old’s input seemed to have an instant effect when she lifted the Washington trophy on Sunday, with many questioning whether Gilbert had finally nailed down Gauff’s troublesome forehand.


The world No 7 herself admitted that her weaker shot was often a target for her rivals. But Gilbert has now admitted that he hasn’t even touched the shot despite being inundated with messages about it. “We haven’t changed anything with the forehand. I never even say that word,” he told the WTA.

Prince Harry will return to the UK Royal Family on a permanent basis, but he will come alone, claims a historian. Royal biographer Hugo Vickers was asked where Harry and Meghan Markle would be in 10 years.  Vickers said that returning home would be “very nice" for the Duke of Sussex. "I think he’ll come home. If he comes home, it will be very nice for him, because he won’t particularly want to. He’s quite angry, I think," he said.
