Coco Gauff discusses training drills and personal hobbies

Tennis star Coco Gauff has shared insights into her training routines and personal interests ahead of the WTA Finals. Gauff revealed that her fitness coach adopted a specific coordination and spacing drill used by Carlos Alcaraz. While she initially struggled with the drill and frequently hit the equipment, a conversation with Alcaraz, who admitted to facing similar difficulties early on, helped her approach the training with more confidence.

Additionally, Gauff discussed her interest in pole dancing as a form of cross-training. She noted that the activity requires significant strength, balance, and flexibility. After briefly stepping away from the hobby, she has returned to it to challenge herself physically and improve her overall athletic ability outside of professional tennis.
