"Thanks to @CocoGauff and the entire team for an absolutely amazing summer run in 2023 and for 14 months of incredible team effort," Gilbert said. He praised the journey they had, reflecting on the previous successes. Despite the challenges faced in recent tournaments, Gilbert expressed gratitude for their partnership and acknowledged Gauff's bright future at just 20 years old.
"Coco, at just 20 years young, your future is incredibly bright, and I wish you nothing but continued success ahead. I'm excited for the next chapter in my coaching career," Gilbert said. This statement highlights his optimistic outlook on Gauff's potential despite their parting, and underscores his intention to move forward positively in his coaching endeavors.
Gauff experienced disappointing early exits in her US Open lead-up tournaments, which culminated in a fourth-round exit from the US Open itself, a stark contrast to her previous success. The tension between her and Gilbert during this time emphasized the struggles within their partnership.
