Coco Gauff Tweaks Serve, Rallies Past Cocciaretto to Reach Miami Open Third Round

Fitness questions linger after her Indian Wells withdrawal.

Overview

  • Coco Gauff came from a set down to defeat Elisabetta Cocciaretto and advance to the third round in Miami.
  • She said she adjusted her serve in the decider by slowing some first serves, using the new balls, widening targets, and mixing pace.
  • Her serve steadied in the final set and she won 63% of her service points, a key factor in the turnaround.
  • Despite the win, she hit 11 double faults and currently leads the tour in double faults this season.
  • Gauff is scheduled to face Alycia Parks next as she pursues her first Miami Open title.
