Coco Gauff and Emma Raducanu share one important thing. <\/strong><\/p>\n

They are both US Open<\/a> champions and importantly they were both major winners as teenagers so it comes as no surprise that the pair have a lot of advice to give each other.<\/p>\n

Back when Raducanu was the freshly crowned US Open champion in 2021, Gauff was quick to warn the Brit that the best thing she can do is ignore the hype.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The best thing I could [say], and I’m sure she’s probably heard it, is to set time aside from the phone,” Gauff said at the time.<\/p>\n

“Because it is exciting when you get all the retweets, all the follows and all of that, but it can be a bit overwhelming. At least in my experience. That’s probably what I wish I would’ve known, not to focus on social media.<\/p>\n

“I put a time limit on my phone because I thought I was spending too much time on it,” she said. “From 8.30 am to 9.30 pm I have limited access to apps.”<\/p>\n

Since then, Gauff has joined Raducanu as a US Open winner, when she won her first major in 2023.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fast forward to 2025, despite the pair having their crowning moments in New York<\/a> that’s about it when it comes to the similarities in their tennis journeys.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Gauff is ranked 46 spots higher then Raducanu and\u00a0 has enjoyed a steady and stable progress on the tour, the American was just recently the World No.2 and now sits third.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Raducanu’s US Open championship is her only title<\/a>, with her time on tour since that being savaged by injuries<\/a> with very little momentum being established.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Gauff has won ten titles, her most recent one came at the WTA Finals in Riyadh in November.<\/p>\n

Gauff’s successful career so far has meant she has earned $23.8 million on tour so far while Raducanu has picked up just $4.9 million, a big difference which demonstrates little competition the Brit has played in recent years.<\/a><\/p>\n

So much so that despite the two young stars have only met once on tour, a 2023 Australian Open clash which Gauff came out victorious.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It was a game that Raducanu had an ample opportunity to win, with a 5-4 lead in the first set.<\/p>\n

However, she failed to see her out two set points and Gauff rallied to make a comeback, winning the tie break before winning the second set and match.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ahead of just their second match at the Rome Open, fourth seed Gauff was full of praise for an opponent she has barely played.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s obviously a great player and the last time we played, it was a tough match,\u201d the world No 3 told Tennis Channel.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s going to be a different matchup on clay here, but I think she has the game to be a great clay-court player.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously, a great player in general, but especially on clay. So it\u2019s going to be a tough match and I\u2019m looking forward to it and hopefully I can come out with the win.\u201d<\/p>\n

Raducanu returned the complaints, pointing out how good she is on clay.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cShe is a great competitor. I think I\u2019m playing pretty good tennis right now and she is going to be a great test,\u201d the 22-year-old Brit told Sky Sports.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s made the final of the French Open<\/a> and so she\u2019s great on this surface. I\u2019m just going to keep focused but savour this one for now.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Gauff<\/a><\/p>\n

Should Raducanu play at her very best, her clean-hitting and pace from both sides of the court should make Gauff uncomfortable.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, even then Gauff is a very good defender and incredibly quick on this surface, something Raducanu may struggle to cope with.<\/p>\n

It would be a huge upset, should Raducanu eliminate Gauff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Coco Gauff and Emma Raducanu share one important thing.
