Gauff's 'Poor Decision' Triggers Serena's Ex-Coach

Published On May 07, 2026 | Edition #462 |
Coco Gauff has always had a pretty complicated relationship with clay. She’s joked before that it’s kind of a “love-hate” thing. But after a rough stretch of results lately, that whole clay-court conversation is back in the spotlight. And now, even Serena Williams’ former coach has weighed in, calling out parts of Gauff’s game in some pretty blunt fashion.
Gauff faces criticism for her disappointing results and clay court struggles.

Someone just spent $236,000,000 on a painting. Here’s why it matters for your wallet.
Late last year, a Klimt sold for the highest price ever paid for modern art at auction.
An outlier sure, but it wasn't a fluke. U.S. auction sales grew 23.1% in 2025. The $1-5mm segment even grew 40.8% YoY.
Meanwhile, Apollo’s chief economist Torsten Slock said to expect ‘zero in return in the S&P 500 over the coming decade.’
Each environment is unique, but after dot-com, post war and contemporary art grew about 24% annually for a decade. After 2008, about 11% for 12 years.
It’s also had near-zero correlation with the S&P 500 since ‘95.*
Now, Masterworks lets you invest in shares of artworks featuring legends like Banksy, Basquiat, and Picasso.
$1.3 billion invested across over 500 artworks.
28 sales to date.
Net annualized returns on sold works held 12 months+ like 14.6%, 17.6%, and 17.8%.
Shares can sell quickly, but my subscribers can skip the waitlist:

Do You Think Gauff’s Clay Court Struggles Might Not Help Her Defend Roland Garros Title? |
Last Poll’s Results: 49.43% of you think Grand Slams don’t care about player welfare.
Eva Lys broke Katie Boulter early in the first set of her opening round win in Rome with this scorching forehand pass on the run. The German Pro won the match with 6-4, 6-3, 6-4 against the Brit.
On May 7, 2008, Juan Carlos Ferrero managed to beat the King of Clay Rafael Nadal, who had lost only once on the surface in the last three years. It was the first time in his career that Nadal was defeated in Rome and was also the first time in five matches that Ferrero prevailed against him on dirt. “El Mosquito” remained the only player to beat Nadal on clay that year.
