Platform

Gauff combines elite athleticism and court coverage with a powerful, improving baseline game. Her movement is among the very best in the sport — she retrieves balls most players cannot reach and turns defense into offense.

Her two-handed backhand is a genuine weapon, and her serve has developed into a reliable point-starter. The forehand has historically been the shot opponents target, and refining it has been the focus of her development.

How her equipment supports her style: The HEAD Boom MP is a comfortable, forgiving frame that suits her fast, defensive-to-offensive style. Luxilon Alu Power provides control for her powerful, spin-heavy hitting.
