Coco Gauff Advances at US Open with Improved Serve

Coco Gauff secured a victory in the first round of the US Open, defeating Turkey's Zeynep Sonmez with a score of 6-3, 6-4. This win highlighted Gauff's revitalized serving game, a stark contrast to her performance at last year's tournament where she faced significant challenges.

The 22-year-old American began the match strongly, holding serve to love and maintaining dominance throughout the first set. In the second set, despite facing pressure from Sonmez, Gauff managed to regain control with powerful serves, including a 112mph ace.

Gauff's improved serving technique, developed under the guidance of biomechanics expert Gavin MacMillan, has transformed her game. Although she still records a high number of double faults, her overall serve has become a formidable asset, as evidenced by her recent performance and confidence on the court.
