The best in history? He can beat Serena as well, says the grand slam winner about the radiant talent

She is considered the most talented tennis player today. She was successful not only among juniors, but she is also gaining ground among much older colleagues. Coco Gauff is on a great career. The 16-year-old teenager captivated many professionals, and former Grand Slam winner Sue Barker claims that she could surpass the legendary Serena Williams.

She was the world’s number one junior, won the junior French Open in singles, the US Open in doubles and is now on the WTA circuit. She started last season on it as the 685th player and now she is in 52nd place. According to experts, Coco Gauff has a great career ahead of her.

Only a 16-year-old teenager shocked at Wimbledon last year, where she fought her way out of qualifying until the round of 16, then got into the third round at the US Open and a few weeks later took care of another surprise. At the tournament in Linz, she came from the qualification to the title, when in the final she dealt with the grand slam winner Jelena Ostapenková.

She did great this year as well, when she played in the round of 16 at the Australian Open. On the way, she defeated two grand slam winners Venus Williams and Naomi Osaka. The talented tennis player was stunned and former French Open champion Sue Barker claims that she could surpass the legendary Serena Williams, who has so far won twenty-three, in terms of grand slams. “She’s supposed to be the best player in history,” Barker said on essentiallysports.com.

According to her, Gauff has all the prerequisites for that. “It never occurred to me to say something like that. Coco has everything, is physically and mentally strong and has a great game, “explained Barker. “When she starts winning grand slams at eighteen, who knows what number she will stop at,” the former tennis player added.
