Y’all said she doesn’t beat top ten so Coco said may all the top ten players come forward; No 2 ☑️ No 6 ☑️ No 1 ☑️ No 7 ☑️. Now hand me my trophy and Cheque. 🏆♥️🔥💐
Haters will always hate. Now they have given Coco a reason to play even better and Coco is still very young. I believe she is still adding to her Tennis arsenal. The #1 rank will come naturally because she will beat all the highest ranked players at some point and walk in as the world's best player which she already is.
Coco is still getting over the pusher mentality of a defensive player. She needs to learn to change directions after a few rally and hit winners. That hasn't become muscle memory yet. That is why Zheng played better as she was hitting winners every chance she gets. Also her shot selection is better because she uses that skill more than Coco. As soon as Coco elevates her serve and her forehand gets even better her game will get cleaner and she'll start capitalizing on all those break points she gets. Fun times ahead. I hope her team reviews this match for training.
They said Coco was overrated. Well, Coco beat the top two players easy, and is the youngest player to win the WTA finals as an American since Serena Williams. Congratulations Coco.
I am glad Coco won because she had done all the hard work of taking Iga and Sabalenka out. I would have been hurt if she lost the match. She deserves this title 100%
yeah i think she really needed to absolutely win this match for mental reassurance purposes. She definitely signaled that she's on a different level now. The tour is going to be shook because of this performance. now she has time off to rest and work more on the forehand going into next year.
@@AC-ss5oy you made the point ..., usually it is no need to lay ground to celebrate this kind of 1000 + master level's victory ... unless something happen to her to block her ... perhaps QW Z also feel Gauff 's strong will, then , hesitate to end .. in the chemical level ... we never know ...
@@NihilisticHedonism you know it took Serena 3 yrs to win her second Majors. Coco went to major finals in 2022 and 2023 at 19 and 19 urs old. She has to run her own race. We. don't know what her career is going to look like
@@NihilisticHedonism Coco is Coco. Serena is Serena. Serena had her time and wrote her legend and it's time for Coco to write hers, whatever it will be. Same for Zheng, frankly. She's not Li Na and it's unfair to ask her to be anyone but Qinwen. So far it's a fascinating watch, the downs and the ups. This match was exactly what I hoped for. A fight to the finish between two worthy young champions! The future looks bright. 🎉❤🎉
This was one for the books! Coco’s resilience knows no bounds! I love this W for her. It gives Coco a lot of momentum to end the season. Shoutout to the new coaching team! Coco is a force all by herself. She just needed to link up with someone who understands how to enhance her strengths and address her weaknesses. Congrats Coco!
Coco came back from the dead and showed a resilience a la Nadalesque, for sure. What a comeback, what a match. It's arguably one of the best of 2024. The way she dug so deep, hung in there and clawed her way until the finish line is off the charts. And the cherry on top? The one-sided tiebreaker. It was way too much for my heart to take. I am so so proud of her. A masterclass in tennis IQ.
Both players are of the same level. .Coco only has better Stamina and strength while Zheng being so skinny was exhausted in the tiebreaker. Zheng was having the upper hand only two points from a win . But the ball is round and Coco managed to fight back . Still there is only one winner and Coco deserves to win . Look forward to their future matches
@hkfoo3333 I have no idea what you mean. Zheng is 5'10 and weighs 154lbs. Gauff is 5'9 and weighs 129lbs. Zheng has a muscular physique that is perfect for tennis so your comment is confusing. She got beaten by Gauff because Gauff was more tenacious and avoided a lot of errors at critical moments.
Coco shut the mouth of the critics. I was sad she lost the US Open, but also glad. Coco didn't get down on herself. Coco seemed to have mentally done what real champions do. Coco fired Brad Gilbert, stopped playing for fans, and took all the negative criticism and turned inward to mental toughness. This was a match that Coco should have lost because today she wasn't the better technical player. However, Coco wasn't accepting a loss, and for once I saw the "killer instinct" that champions are made of in Coco. I saw Coco happy enjoying playing tennis. Congratulations Coco for a job well done.
@ 🤭I’m a Coco Gauff fan…what are you talking about? You replied to wrong person,dude! Yes, Coco Gauff beat 4 top 10 players on her way to the WTA title and the haters have gone into hibernation!
Wow this is the best recap l have seen in a very long time from any content creator. What a masterpiece! Saudi Arabia clearly put on a show even if mostly choreographed. Their poor human rights record will/should continue to be condemned no matter how much they tried to sportswash their image. What s great tournament and l hope Coco's win will make an impact in Saudi Arabia and beyond 👏
Congratulations COCO God bless you always I know you can do all things through God who strengthen you ❤baby girl continue to shine and pray always God bless you
This is a pretty fair and objective analysis. Qinwen did better on court but failed due to her own unforced errors or bad choices. Coco is resilient and found a way to win despite not playing best tennis… it didn’t go Qinwen’s way this time, but she did demonstrate extraordinary progress. 🎉
@@topsyreiter4561 She is very smart. She knew she didn't have to win that match against Barbora because she was already qualified. She's smart. She won when it matters most. Smart Girl 😊😊
Thannks for your sharp analysis. Congrats to Coco. It is one of the best finals we have seen. Zheng was so close to winning. I saw her interview and she said the loss will hurt her for a short while. But she wants to move on quickly for the next season.
I second you; that was a wonderful final match, and I appreciate how you framed Tyler's shout-out and song context to how CoCo shut down all her and "haters." She ain't dead!
Could not be happier for Coco and there could not have been a more deserving champ, what a fight back! I will admit I thought Sabalenka had this tournament in the bag and happy to be proven wrong. Coco’s definitely winning at least one more Grand Slam next year and certainly not impossible that she’ll reach number 1.
Hey Little Sis U silenced those haters (arm chair athletes ) Do U ! Only concern yourself with The Creator, Your Family and those that love U. Mungu Akubariki (God Bless U) 🏆👑🌹🌟✊🏽
Congratulations to Coco ❤ a well deserved win and masterclass on tennis mental and physical strength. I want to see the stats on who won the most long rallies because I feel it was Coco 🧐 😊 Zheng has made her mark and I think she will be a strong contender next year. It is wonderful that the WTA has such interesting and marketable players to progress the game. Congratulations to the new WTA CEO and well done for successfully bring tennis to a new location and making it accessible to a different population group.
I could be biased because Coco is my favorite WTA player but her matches are the best to watch. She’s brings out the best in other players, the matches are intense and physical and you never know when Coco will pull out a clutch win. I watch a lot of tennis and Coco’s matches always bring the excitement and suspense. We are lucky to watch her!
The tennis world is stupid. I have been a fan of tennis for a very long time, and a player as well. For anyone to think that a top 10 player is down and out because of some shacky results just does not understand our sport at all. Also, I don't think that people get that most players will not win multiple slams or a slam at all. The sport simply does not work this way. You have elite top players ending their career with 3 slams or less and that is considered a phenomenal career. Coco is 20 years old. A slam winner. She has made multiple semifinals at majors. She has already had a great career. And she will continue to have a great career, she will not win all the time, no one does. I think you do a great job covering out sport for sure, I am not including you in my analysis. At the same time, this current wave from the tennis world to panic anytime a player is not dominating all the time is telling of how much so many new fans don't understand about our sport.
Thank You so much Christian for your terrific commentary!!!! I always look forward to your thoughts on the matches. I am also so happy for Coco🥳 She really has Great potential for a Superb future 🎉🎉🎉🎉🥳🙌💫🥎🥎🥎🥎🥎🫶
Coco beat 1, 2 and the Gold Medalists in the same tournament. Congratulations girl...now go dominate 2025. She will only get better...when she starts to play aggressive...it might just be over 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for this highlight you do so well with breaking down details and stats when it comes to tennis. I believe CoCo will become number one when she truly embrace the fact that she is a bonafide tennis player and she could do anything she puts her mind and heart into. Yes she's young but she's also a fighter and like she says she feels confident that she could win and when you speak positivity over yourself like that nothing else matters.
Thank you Christian for your detailed analysis. Professionally described & easily understood. Once more thank you Looking forward to your ATP Finals one... STAY BLESSED
Congrats Christian. Great job on your Channel, Kudos to you. And Coco, well I will never doubt her. If she gets you in deep waters and you don't close out...sk's the limit. And youe right, she didn't even play that well. If she did this would have been a two set win!
We do have to consider that Gauff played 3 days back-to-back, where Zheng had 1 day of rest. I said before they played that I expected Gauff to be tired, win, but tired. Indeed, she stated she was tired in the press conference. If she had 1 day of rest, I expect her energy would have given her an extra boost in play quality towards winning. ALSO, Zheng played Barbora prior to the final where Gauff played and beat SABALENKA! So, Gauff was clearly the MVP of the tournament, in my opinion; if this even needs to be said. I don't believe Zheng would have troubled her as much with a day of rest and an easier opponent prior to the final; Zheng had that advantage... Always look forward to your analysis, thank you!
Coco is definitely winning a slam next year this WTA finals was so much like Serena's 2001 in that it's signaling a change in Coco's trajectory. She said in her press that everyone kept writing off her year but it really wasn't even a bad year minus these ttitles in the last few weeks but im glad she's proving these doubters wrong. Coco's performance seemed very "Novak-like" being a big returner, shaking off breaks of serve and lasting longer than her opponents.
Christian I enjoyed you commentary. Sorry I'm just finding you at the end of the '24 season. Looking forward to enjoying tennis with you in 2025. I'm a big fan of Coco and Sabalenka.
Crazy how she turned her season around after the split from BG! Makes Krejcikova's win all the more impressive in hindsight. Yes there wasn't much on the line for Gauff but still i feel Krejcikova has the game to trouble her.
Both players have been fantastic and are of the same level . The one with the better stamina won as Coco being more built vs skinny Zheng does have the advantage of a 3 hour match. Both were exhausted and Zheng was practically spent in the decider and committed so many errors Still Coco deserves her win and wish to see more exciting future matches between the two
Zheng is taller and stronger than coco...look at her legs....and arms. She's not skinny. Lean and very strong. That's how she has so much power and hits with spin. You need your eyes checked 😂
@@Maruman_man Zheng even stated the two players Coco and Sabalinka as strong players and never defeated them before and would be a challenge. This is from her own words. Other players are more suited to her size and she seldom faced problems. My guess is that is she is to face sabalinka which is even bigger than Coco , it can be like before straight set loss. I did not say it.. She hereself said it. Facts proved to be true. All other players like Swaitek etc ... she can handle with normal wins and loss.
Coco is only 20, when she improves her forehand wing and the consistency of her serve she will be unbeatable when she is on. She moves better than everyone on the tour. Her instincts and first step forward and side to side can not be taught. Her serve is powerful when it's on. Her backhand is elite. And finally, her mental toughness is next level. I see more slams in her future, great and less one-sided rivalries with Swiatek and Sabalenka. Looking forward to burgeoning rivalries with Zheng (already a great all-around player), Navarro and I see Mira becoming an elite player as well. Tennis is in good hands.
Coco was the director of this championship. She was very strategic from the beginning. She went all out to win her first two matches. Ease up on the throttle in the third match possibly to save energy going into the semifinal and ensuring that the dangerous Swiatek was out. She also ensured that she would meet Sabalenka who, from form, she would stand a better chance reaching the finals and the playing Zheng who it was expected to reached the final also. Then Coco let it all out in that final. She played her best game this season. She displayed with grit, strength, guile and fitness. Zheng literally ran out of gas and spirit. Coco broke that Chinese “filly” towards the end. A very strategic tournament from Coco and her team. Congratulations.
Great analysis as usual. What's your full name and what is your tennis background? You came out of nowhere. At first I thought you were boring and mundane. Now you have become compelling. I can't believe I found myself looking for your content after this match. Did you play elite level tennis, inquiring minds want to know?
Okay Christian Basnight, gotcha. All I see so far is you started playing at around 10, and at least one year, you made it to the semi-finals in your state of Virginia. I also saw the news dossier they did on you when you were in high school. It appears you played division 3 tennis and did well. Don't know if you played the whole 4 years or not. You knew what you wanted to do from jump and that is; to be a tennis analyst an commentator by majoring in business and journalism. You played enough to understand the game. What you accomplished in tennis, is more than most of us on this site probably did or doing. Keep grinding man. Who knows we might look up and see you on ESPN or the Tennis channel one day. Even if you don't; you are building enough subscribers, followers and admirers to be your own entity...
Thank you for your comment to this final and l learned a lot!But I saw more backhand errors from Coco than her usual matches,where can i get these satas like forehand errors and backhand errors per match,not just errors and forced errors,thank you again.
This was by far the best review I have seen so far. The arena was so dark I couldn't see the attendance for most of the matches. Coco knows that you don't have to play your best tennis to win matches, and it will serve her well in the future. QWZ surprised me how well she hung in the long rallies and was at par in winning those points. Coco didn't serve as great as in the Aryna match, but neither did QWZ . QWZ only had 4 aces the entire match and all 4 came in the 3rd set. Coco average serve speed seemed to have decreased by about 25km in this tournament- is it a tradeoff for accuacy?
Coco hasn’t played great tennis this fall, but crucially, she has competed stratospherically in that time and we have seen the results. When she’ll play great tennis and up her competitiveness as well, she will be a BEAST to take on 💪🏿💜.
In the previous final w/ Sabi, the commentators kept bringing up 'Aryna wasn't on her game today', 'she's letting herself get too flustered'. They couldn't possibly fathom that Coco's big play, running down literally every shot had any effect on her opponent.
Christian court should be changed to Iga and Sabalenka court, because every time you make a say the other played bad and that helped Coco. Some how you and some other Coco was recently the #2 player in the WTA. Give her real credit, w/o some others helped her bruh
COCO GAUFF, CONGRATULATIONS, I’M YOUR FAN! COCO, INDEED, YOU RICHLY DESERVE THE 2024 WTA FINAL CHAMPIONSHIP IN RIYADH! I DO HOPE THAT YOU CONTINUE TO BE HUMBLE ESPECIALLY, IF YOU’RE WINNING 🏆 TENNIS MATCHES ALL OVER THE WORLD. ONCE AGAIN, CONGRATULATIONS 🎈COCO GAUFF AND GOD BLESS.
I couldn't agree more with the commentary; Coco took a huge step forward in her career by taking this tournament. This might be even more important than her 2023 USO title. She set herself up for success in the next season and solidified her place at the top of a very competitive field. WTA never looked better to me as it does right now with so much talent it's crazy. Coco played like a warrior, congratulations!!!
I was definitely impressed by Coco’s fight in the final. I turned the channel when she got broken early in the second set. I hope she wins at least two majors next year.
Congratulations dear Coco on your tactical and intelligent game yesterday! I have already predicted that we will see even more of you next year! Although we were unsure last night, you did not abandon us. applause for that, you are a gift from God and we all believe in that who support you in prayer! all the best for the coming year, blessed sweet child!🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️🎉🎉💐💐
After she won the the US open title last year, Brad Gilbert wasn’t doing a dam thing for Coco’s game.. he was just taking her money and loafing on the job..that’s why she had to fire his a$$!
I really enjoy your videos Christian, but please please please straighten/level the horizontal racquet and the photo frame, it is driving me CRAZY!!! ❤
Coco is the CHAMP! She worked hard for that trophy and whooping $4.8 Million prize. She deserved it. Riyadh raised the bar and did an amazing job hosting the WTA Finals. That was spectacular, impressive and it was truly a success.
Bro playing 3hrs of tennis on your legs is crazy. It’s one of the longest match in history. Also coco is not fully mature as professional player yet. She’s still young and budding. Not because Serena and Venus were ahead of their time, means Coco should be too. Zheng serves were stellar , she bodied coco for most of this match. Coco was just a quick thinker and a really good problem solver.
Brad and the other coaches before him, gave Coco these complicated game plans that continued to neutralize her superior problem solving capabilities and her athletism; whilst long-term, her serve(which was never really being resolved) continued to fail her. This kind of situation always benefited the opposition; especially players like Iga, Sabalenka and/or Barbora. Now with Tim Daly, you can clearly see the shift that has begun to take place. He is definitely helping Coco to develop her serve with her forehand, alongside grip technique; whilst giving a very simple game plan of allowing her to go out there and problem solve and use her athletism. Trust me, when Coco is playing to her true self; it will continue to be a struggle and a nightmare for all of the WTA field. Even when Coco isn't playing her best tennis and her serve may not click some intervals, her mental toughness alongside her superior athletism and problem solving will continuously take all WTA players into deep waters. Players like Swiatek, Sabalenka, Bardosa, Quinwen and others will now see how dangerous this version of Coco will continue to be as her game evolve. This WTA tournament victory was just the calm before the storm. Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon and US OPEN; and the 500s, 1000 and Masters. 2025 and beyond. RUN🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. That also applies to LA28 as well. COCO GAUFF 2.0 IS COMING🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Nice video , first time I've watched you, I'm impressed , one thing, qinwen can be a top player ????she is a top player already , coco coming into her own now.
At wuhan, i said coco is a fighter, she never give up. She should have lod this match and still she manages to win it. Love this gurl. 2025 is gonna be a great year for coco i hope.

Coco is the champ!!!!!!!!! I’m so happy for her ❤. S/O to your take with the demo there. I loved this final def one of my fav matches of the year.
Coco beat 1, 2 and the Gold Medalists in the same tournament. Congratulations girl...now go dominate 2025. She will only get better...when she starts to play aggressive...it might just be over 🔥🔥🔥
After Auckland, then Australian Open. Next thing is Tim needs to train COCO GAUFF 2.0 to be an all surface threat.
That's GREAT!!!!
Thank you for this highlight you do so well with breaking down details and stats when it comes to tennis. I believe CoCo will become number one when she truly embrace the fact that she is a bonafide tennis player and she could do anything she puts her mind and heart into. Yes she's young but she's also a fighter and like she says she feels confident that she could win and when you speak positivity over yourself like that nothing else matters.
Thank you Christian for your detailed analysis. Professionally described & easily understood. Once more thank you
Looking forward to your ATP Finals one...
STAY BLESSED
Great job Christian...throughout the year! And I TOLD Y'ALL, COCO WINS IT ALL!!!
Congrats Christian. Great job on your Channel, Kudos to you. And Coco, well I will never doubt her. If she gets you in deep waters and you don't close out...sk's the limit. And youe right, she didn't even play that well. If she did this would have been a two set win!
Well done Christian. All the best with the channel. 🎉
I'm still recovering, WTG Coco. Queen played well. TOP 5.
We do have to consider that Gauff played 3 days back-to-back, where Zheng had 1 day of rest. I said before they played that I expected Gauff to be tired, win, but tired. Indeed, she stated she was tired in the press conference. If she had 1 day of rest, I expect her energy would have given her an extra boost in play quality towards winning. ALSO, Zheng played Barbora prior to the final where Gauff played and beat SABALENKA! So, Gauff was clearly the MVP of the tournament, in my opinion; if this even needs to be said. I don't believe Zheng would have troubled her as much with a day of rest and an easier opponent prior to the final; Zheng had that advantage...
Always look forward to your analysis, thank you!
No haters allowed 🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾
Coco is definitely winning a slam next year this WTA finals was so much like Serena's 2001 in that it's signaling a change in Coco's trajectory. She said in her press that everyone kept writing off her year but it really wasn't even a bad year minus these ttitles in the last few weeks but im glad she's proving these doubters wrong. Coco's performance seemed very "Novak-like" being a big returner, shaking off breaks of serve and lasting longer than her opponents.
I just hope Coco continues to improve her forehand- continues to put pace and also push it closer to the baseline.
$5 million. Nice.
Thanks for the new and updated ❤
This was a great recap!!!! Spot on!!!
Christian I enjoyed you commentary. Sorry I'm just finding you at the end of the '24 season. Looking forward to enjoying tennis with you in 2025. I'm a big fan of Coco and Sabalenka.
Coco about to run 2025❤❤❤❤
Crazy how she turned her season around after the split from BG! Makes Krejcikova's win all the more impressive in hindsight. Yes there wasn't much on the line for Gauff but still i feel Krejcikova has the game to trouble her.
All the top ladies have problems with ash barty style of slices and chips....they all just love sitting back hitting hard....
Not COCO GAUFF 2.0
Both players have been fantastic and are of the same level . The one with the better stamina won as Coco being more built vs skinny Zheng does have the advantage of a 3 hour match.
Both were exhausted and Zheng was practically spent in the decider and committed so many errors
Still Coco deserves her win and wish to see more exciting future matches between the two
Zheng is taller and stronger than coco...look at her legs....and arms. She's not skinny. Lean and very strong. That's how she has so much power and hits with spin. You need your eyes checked 😂
@@Maruman_man
Zheng even stated the two players Coco and Sabalinka as strong players and never defeated them before and would be a challenge.
This is from her own words.
Other players are more suited to her size and she seldom faced problems.
My guess is that is she is to face sabalinka which is even bigger than Coco , it can be like before straight set loss.
I did not say it.. She hereself said it.
Facts proved to be true. All other players like Swaitek etc ... she can handle with normal wins and loss.
I agree with the season finale. Like your analysis too❣️
Wonderful review. You know your stuff and have noooooo bias which I really like.
Well done, Coco . Congratulations ❤️ 🎉👏🙏👍
Good review Christian
I never stopped believing in Coco! So happy for her and looking forward to Coco VS Zheng round 3 hopefully at AO!
Coco is only 20, when she improves her forehand wing and the consistency of her serve she will be unbeatable when she is on. She moves better than everyone on the tour. Her instincts and first step forward and side to side can not be taught. Her serve is powerful when it's on. Her backhand is elite. And finally, her mental toughness is next level. I see more slams in her future, great and less one-sided rivalries with Swiatek and Sabalenka. Looking forward to burgeoning rivalries with Zheng (already a great all-around player), Navarro and I see Mira becoming an elite player as well. Tennis is in good hands.
Congratulations to Coco and her team.
This is a budding rivalry.
Coco was the director of this championship. She was very strategic from the beginning. She went all out to win her first two matches. Ease up on the throttle in the third match possibly to save energy going into the semifinal and ensuring that the dangerous Swiatek was out. She also ensured that she would meet Sabalenka who, from form, she would stand a better chance reaching the finals and the playing Zheng who it was expected to reached the final also. Then Coco let it all out in that final. She played her best game this season. She displayed with grit, strength, guile and fitness. Zheng literally ran out of gas and spirit. Coco broke that Chinese “filly” towards the end. A very strategic tournament from Coco and her team. Congratulations.
Great analysis as usual. What's your full name and what is your tennis background? You came out of nowhere. At first I thought you were boring and mundane. Now you have become compelling. I can't believe I found myself looking for your content after this match. Did you play elite level tennis, inquiring minds want to know?
Okay Christian Basnight, gotcha. All I see so far is you started playing at around 10, and at least one year, you made it to the semi-finals in your state of Virginia. I also saw the news dossier they did on you when you were in high school. It appears you played division 3 tennis and did well. Don't know if you played the whole 4 years or not. You knew what you wanted to do from jump and that is; to be a tennis analyst an commentator by majoring in business and journalism. You played enough to understand the game. What you accomplished in tennis, is more than most of us on this site probably did or doing. Keep grinding man. Who knows we might look up and see you on ESPN or the Tennis channel one day. Even if you don't; you are building enough subscribers, followers and admirers to be your own entity...
I thk God that coco won shes the best
Her moves are good
She fit and she deserves it
I love her all
Keep it up hun❤🎉
She looks like serena, in that match. She reminds me of serena 😂😂😂
More live a young Venus ❤
@@wendyredman8897 agree, but the comeback is definitely serena. 💯
@@Repent-p3kThe mindset of Serena
Thank you for your comment to this final and l learned a lot!But I saw more backhand errors from Coco than her usual matches,where can i get these satas like forehand errors and backhand errors per match,not just errors and forced errors,thank you again.
This was by far the best review I have seen so far.
The arena was so dark I couldn't see the attendance for most of the matches.
Coco knows that you don't have to play your best tennis to win matches, and it will serve her well in the future.
QWZ surprised me how well she hung in the long rallies and was at par in winning those points.
Coco didn't serve as great as in the Aryna match, but neither did QWZ . QWZ only had 4 aces the entire match and all 4 came in the 3rd set.
Coco average serve speed seemed to have decreased by about 25km in this tournament- is it a tradeoff for accuacy?
Coco hasn’t played great tennis this fall, but crucially, she has competed stratospherically in that time and we have seen the results.
When she’ll play great tennis and up her competitiveness as well, she will be a BEAST to take on 💪🏿💜.
Coco you know you had my heart beating fast I was on the chair on the floor . baby girl you made my day ❤😅
In the previous final w/ Sabi, the commentators kept bringing up 'Aryna wasn't on her game today', 'she's letting herself get too flustered'. They couldn't possibly fathom that Coco's big play, running down literally every shot had any effect on her opponent.
congratulation Coco, this was a true champion digging deep, the game was awesome, both ladies were excellent.
Coco run to the title was very Serena 🔥 beating the #2 & #3 n came back from the dead to win the title
Christian court should be changed to Iga and Sabalenka court, because every time you make a say the other played bad and that helped Coco. Some how you and some other Coco was recently the #2 player in the WTA. Give her real credit, w/o some others helped her bruh
I said before, write off Coco at your peril. What an amazing win. Well deserved and well done Coco 🎉
COCO GAUFF, CONGRATULATIONS, I’M YOUR FAN! COCO, INDEED, YOU RICHLY DESERVE THE 2024 WTA FINAL CHAMPIONSHIP IN RIYADH! I DO HOPE THAT YOU CONTINUE TO BE HUMBLE ESPECIALLY, IF YOU’RE WINNING 🏆 TENNIS MATCHES ALL OVER THE WORLD. ONCE AGAIN, CONGRATULATIONS 🎈COCO GAUFF AND GOD BLESS.
I couldn't agree more with the commentary; Coco took a huge step forward in her career by taking this tournament. This might be even more important than her 2023 USO title. She set herself up for success in the next season and solidified her place at the top of a very competitive field. WTA never looked better to me as it does right now with so much talent it's crazy. Coco played like a warrior, congratulations!!!
Coco golf I was rooting for her all the way great job for her and you do a fantastic job young man❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ love you both❤❤❤❤
Coco tennis
@@Maruman_man I think he meant to put ‘Gauff!’
This was the best match ever.Congratulations coco.YOU ARE THE BEST.
A VERY INTELLIGENT & ARTICULATE YOUNG LADY .. BLESSINGS COCO ..
I think Cocoa finally picked a good coach.They can really show us something.You can see the difference
I was definitely impressed by Coco’s fight in the final. I turned the channel when she got broken early in the second set. I hope she wins at least two majors next year.
Guys Coco won!!!
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Yesssss, she did. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Congratulations dear Coco on your tactical and intelligent game yesterday! I have already predicted that we will see even more of you next year! Although we were unsure last night, you did not abandon us. applause for that, you are a gift from God and we all believe in that who support you in prayer! all the best for the coming year, blessed sweet child!🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️🎉🎉💐💐
After she won the the US open title last year, Brad Gilbert wasn’t doing a dam thing for Coco’s game.. he was just taking her money and loafing on the job..that’s why she had to fire his a$$!
Christian, do you know the link to see the full replay of the final. My DVR stopped at 5-4...I lost it.
I really enjoy your videos Christian, but please please please straighten/level the horizontal racquet and the photo frame, it is driving me CRAZY!!! ❤
So happy for Coco’s win!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉 She deserves it!!!
YAAAAS, CHRISTIAN!! 2025 IS ABOUT TO BE LITTY, LIT!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉
Congrats CoCo so happy for you and God bless you!
I’m happy the girls put on a great show for this new tennis audience.
Coco is the CHAMP! She worked hard for that trophy and whooping $4.8 Million prize. She deserved it. Riyadh raised the bar and did an amazing job hosting the WTA Finals. That was spectacular, impressive and it was truly a success.
I'm glad Coco won because some of the fans of other players were talking so much crap.
Bro playing 3hrs of tennis on your legs is crazy. It’s one of the longest match in history. Also coco is not fully mature as professional player yet. She’s still young and budding. Not because Serena and Venus were ahead of their time, means Coco should be too. Zheng serves were stellar , she bodied coco for most of this match. Coco was just a quick thinker and a really good problem solver.
That the Most important factor at the end of the day; which is what wins matches most of the time.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
WTA is so exciting and this match was a fantastic, fitting finale to the year. Roll on 2025..
Brad and the other coaches before him, gave Coco these complicated game plans that continued to neutralize her superior problem solving capabilities and her athletism; whilst long-term, her serve(which was never really being resolved) continued to fail her. This kind of situation always benefited the opposition; especially players like Iga, Sabalenka and/or Barbora.
Now with Tim Daly, you can clearly see the shift that has begun to take place. He is definitely helping Coco to develop her serve with her forehand, alongside grip technique; whilst giving a very simple game plan of allowing her to go out there and problem solve and use her athletism. Trust me, when Coco is playing to her true self; it will continue to be a struggle and a nightmare for all of the WTA field.
Even when Coco isn't playing her best tennis and her serve may not click some intervals, her mental toughness alongside her superior athletism and problem solving will continuously take all WTA players into deep waters. Players like Swiatek, Sabalenka, Bardosa, Quinwen and others will now see how dangerous this version of Coco will continue to be as her game evolve. This WTA tournament victory was just the calm before the storm.
Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon and US OPEN; and the 500s, 1000 and Masters. 2025 and beyond. RUN🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. That also applies to LA28 as well.
COCO GAUFF 2.0 IS COMING🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Nice video , first time I've watched you, I'm impressed , one thing, qinwen can be a top player ????she is a top player already , coco coming into her own now.
At wuhan, i said coco is a fighter, she never give up. She should have lod this match and still she manages to win it. Love this gurl. 2025 is gonna be a great year for coco i hope.
Coco did a great job ..she is now playing like we know she can....her serve has improved.....you know iga and sabe will be looking for revenge...
