Follow us on Google Discover Coco Gauff has officially brought her 2025 season to an end, after exiting the WTA Finals at the round-robin stage.
It marked a disappointing end to her campaign, failing to defend her title, but one that came as no surprise given just how unpredictable this year has been for the American.
Despite winning the Roland Garros title in impossibly dramatic fashion, forehand and serving issues have plagued the months that have followed, prompting Gauff to hire a biomechanics coach as she uprooted her entire team on the eve of the US Open.
Now that her season is finally concluded, she will at last have time to work closely with Gavin MacMillan to address those glaring issues.
Coco Gauff reviews her 2025 season
The 21-year-old would take to Instagram, just a day after Gauff reacted on social media immediately after her loss to Aryna Sabalenka, to deliver a broader overview of her 2025 campaign.
She stated that her season was now ‘officially over’, citing its length as well as the impossible highs and crushing lows.
Her statement claimed: “My 2025 season is officially over and it was a longggg one. I played my first match of this season December 29th, 2024 and my last match of the season November 6th, 2025.
“It was filled with some disappointments but mainly positives and when I look back at it, I feel proud of all the things I accomplished. I love this sport and I am grateful for all of its ups and downs.
“Very few feelings come close to the euphoria you feel when you are living in a dream come true or a prayer come to fruition and I am eternally grateful to God for these experiences and the opportunity to feel this feeling constantly.”
Coco Gauff finished by thanking her fans, concluding: “Thank you guys for your love and support, thank you to my family, my friends, my team, and God. Time for a little rest and then back to the grind….see you guys back on court next year, we uppppp”.
Coco Gauff’s 2025 Grand Slam season
Gauff started her campaign with a solid showing at the Australian Open, reaching the quarterfinals in impressive fashion.
She showcased the patented grit in Melbourne that we would become increasingly accustomed to as the year went on, particularly as her serve began deserting her.
The youngster then followed that up with a stunning run at Roland Garros, famously beating Sabalenka in the final in windy, uncomfortable conditions.
However, the grass-court season was not kind to Gauff, and she suffered a speedy loss at Wimbledon, exiting in the very first round to Dayana Yastremska.
By this point, the unforced errors and nervous serving reached fever pitch, and it felt like every single match was a grind for the two-time Grand Slam champion to win.

As such, she underperformed in Canada and Cincinnati before losing at the US Open in the fourth round to Naomi Osaka.
Any season where a player wins a Grand Slam title must be considered a success, but this has been a highly unpredictable and unusual year for Gauff. She will hope to head into 2026 with newfound consistency and an improved skillset that can make her a genuine contender for every event she enters.
