Cori Gauff will take on Ons Jabeur in the quarter-final in Charleston. Coco is playing pretty well, but she is still struggling with one big aspect of her game: the second serve.

The American sensation is having the same issue in Charleston, where she has already committed 14 double faults in three matches, which means 4.7 double faults per match. Generally speaking, her second serve percentage in terms of winning points is decent at 46%. However, She may implode anytime with that second serve in important moments, and a smart player like Ons Jabeur is very well aware of that.
