Cori Gauff and Jannik Sinner are arguably the most interesting prospects in tennis on both the WTA and the ATP Tour.
Jannik Sinner is a bit older than Coco since he has already turned 19 while Coco is still 17. The Italian has recently managed to reach a very important final at the Miami Open and has already won 2 titles.
Coco has already won 1 WTA title, but she has been struggling a bit this year with her results. Nevertheless, the American sensation is not that worried since she is more focused on improving and finding her best tennis than winning matches. This is a big similarity with Jannik Sinner that is also extremely focused on constantly developing his game. The young Italian often maintained that he is not worried at all by the rankings, at least by now.
During a recent interview, Coco commented:
“I think you want results to happen fast, but I’m also still developing my game and figuring out how I want to play on the court and how I want to construct my points,” she said.
“So it’s just definitely a learning process and I feel like with every tournament, even though some tournaments I don’t do as well as others, I feel like with each one I’m getting better and getting closer to figuring out my game and figuring out what I like to do.”

Coco Gauff is about to kick start her campaign in Charleston, where she will face Tsvetana Pironkova in the first round. This is the first time that the seventeen-year-old plays this specific tournament in South Carolina. The prediction is Coco winning in three sets.
