TRAGIC NEWS: Coco Guaff’s suspension stemmed from her relationship with…

Speaking highly of Rafael Nadal, who appears to be planning to retire from tennis this season, Coco Gauff has stated. World No. 3 Gauff claims it’s “very weird” that the 22-time Grand Slam winner will be retiring from tennis and that she would “literally zone out of my practice to watch” Nadal. Gauff acknowledged that she wished to serve better at the Italian Open.

I haven’t released a clay title in a bit. Gauff hopes to succeed in Rome.

Rafael Nadal is likely to retire from tennis, and Coco Gauff says she is still processing this but his legacy will be “almost unmatched.”
It appears that Rafael Nadal, 37, will be embarking on his farewell tour.

Having said goodbye to two competitions held in his native Spain and Madrid, he is continuing his farewell to clay this week at the Italian Open.

Before beginning her Rome campaign, world No. 3 Gauff was asked about Rafael Nadal and replied, “Honestly, it’s very weird for me as a fan to come to terms with just because he’s been the Roland-Garros winner for the majority of my life.”

Yes, I suppose it’s starting to hit now. Presumably, I was in Madrid. The fact that he was not yet retiring really touched home. Now that I witnessed them perform the brief ceremony, I realized that this was actually happening.His loss somewhat saddens me, as he is undoubtedly one of my favorite players to watch. I respect his intensity and way of thinking.”To be honest, he’s probably the only player that I would actually completely lose myself in his presence during practice.

“While on tour, I’ve rehearsed next to some amazing players. The only person my eye lingers on is him. It’s something about him, his aura, and the fervor with which he performs things, no offense to other players. Simply put, it’s something I can look up to as a young athlete.”Not to mention his elegance. He’s a really kind guy. I recall him saying, “Hey, good job,” and giving me a pat on the back in Roland-Garros the previous year. I was so shocked that he talked to me that I didn’t reply until after he had gone down the steps by around twenty tiles. Small details like those, I believe, are what I will miss most about the tour. He has a really wonderful demeanor.When it comes to the sheer fervor with which he approaches everything, his legacy will be practically unrivaled. Both the players and the spectators, in my opinion, will miss that.
Gauff has also disclosed the area of her game that she hopes to hone in order to have a “very good Roland-Garros” at the Italian Open.
Gauff, who reached the French Open final in 2022 and the quarterfinals in 2021 and 2023, might be among the top contenders there.
