Coco Gauff: Despite a Rocky 2025, Coco Gauff Gets Strong Miami Open Backing from Tennis Bigwig

Coco Gauff stepped onto the court and delivered a ruthless statement, blanking Sofia Kenin 6-0, 6-0 in her opening match. After a rough stretch that included early exits in Doha and Dubai and a fourth-round loss at Indian Wells, Gauff needed a reset. And what better place than Miami? She grew up just 30 minutes away in Delray Beach and has spent countless hours training in these conditions. Now, an American tennis bigwig is backing her to go all the way.
Former pros Jack Sock, Sam Querrey, and Stevie Johnson recently discussed their Miami Open predictions on the latest edition of the ‘Nothing Major’ podcast. Sock was all in on Gauff. He said, “I’m gonna go with Coco Gauff to have a breakout. Finally, we get some results from Coco. Huge fan of her. She’s got to put some results together at some point, and it’s going to be here. It’s going to be Miami. She’s a South Florida resident, I think, and trains down here—so close to home, comfortable. Winning the tournament, all right. Comfortable. She’s going to win.”
