American world number six Coco Gauff has ended her partnership with coach Brad Gilbert just two weeks after what she described as a “disappointing” US Open title defence.<\/b><\/p>\n

Gauff, 20, won the first major of her career<\/a> in New York last year under Gilbert’s guidance.<\/p>\n

But she lost in the fourth round<\/a> to fellow American Emma Navarro this year.<\/p>\n

“Coco, at just 20 years young, your future is incredibly bright, and I wish you nothing but continued success ahead,” Gilbert, who also coached former Grand Slam champions Andre Agassi, Andy Murray and Andy Roddick, wrote on X.<\/p>\n

“I’m excited for the next chapter in my coaching career.”<\/p>\n

Gauff hired Gilbert to work alongside Spanish coach Pere Riba after a chastening first-round exit at Wimbledon last year.<\/p>\n

That led to a turnaround in fortune as Gauff won 18 of her next 19 matches in her home hard-court swing, leading to title victories in Washington, Cincinnati and New York.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
