Gauff More Comfortable With Her Game After Mindset Change

Coco Gauff is feeling more comfortable than ever in her game heading into the Australian Open and while changes to her playing style have had an impact the world number three says it is her different mindset which has made the biggest difference.

Gauff, who won her only Grand Slam title at the US Open in 2023, has been in top form in recent months, winning the China Open and clinching her first WTA Finals title in November.

She took that form into the United Cup, beating world number two Iga Swiatek in the final to help the United States win their second title at the mixed team tournament.

I feel more comfortable now than ever, said the 20-year-old, whose Flushing Meadows title defence ended in the fourth round last year.

I think not even from the fact of the changes in playing style. I just realized the importance of winning or losing a match.
