Cori Gauff
USACurrent form
After the quarterfinals, Australian Open Gauff failed two tournaments in a row – in Doha and Dubai, she sheathed her racket at the end of the opening matches. Some progress could be observed in Indian Wells, where she managed to reach the 1/8 finals, but Corey did not demonstrate stable play, barely overcame the resistance of Uchijima and Sakkari, made a huge number of unforced errors and could not defeat Bencic in the game for the right to play in the quarterfinals (6-3, 3-6, 4-6).
Professional qualities
Gauff, due to his excellent movement speed, feels confident on the back line, gets the most difficult balls, and covers the court well. At any moment, Cory is able to sharpen the game, primarily due to a clear forehand. The American's weak point is the second serve, which can allow more than 20 doubles in individual matches.
