Gauff keen to end clay-court trophy drought ahead of french open
Coco Gauff’s immediate focus is on ending her trophy drought on clay ahead of the French Open at Roland Garros; you can watch over 80 tournaments a year, including the US Open, exclusively live on Sky Sports Tennis
Wednesday 17 AprilCoco Gauff is full of optimism heading into the clay-court season as she targets a first French Open crown but the American said her immediate focus was on ending her trophy drought.
Gauff last won a title on clay at the Emilia-Romagna Open in 2021, a year before losing in the Roland Garros final to Iga Swiatek.The 20-year-old will have the chance to end that barren run in Stuttgart this week, with tournaments in Madrid and Rome also on the horizon before the second Grand Slam of the year.
“For the clay season this year, I’m really optimistic,” she said. “Obviously the goal is to win the French Open, but that’s every season for any top player. Your goals should be to try to win the big tournaments.
“But I’m not looking at French Open right now. I’m focused on Stuttgart. I want to try to win Madrid or Rome or here… I just want to get a recent clay title under my belt. So any of the ones along the next couple weeks would be nice.”
