Coco Gauff emerged victorious from the Wuhan Open last week, racing through the field to claim another Masters 1000 title. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Gauff was praised by Jessica Pegula<\/a> after the American was beaten by her compatriot in a very entertaining final. <\/p>\n

After a thrashing at the hands of Amanda Anisimova<\/a> the week previous, Gauff<\/a> showed tremendous mental strength to bounce back in the very next tournament and play so well. <\/p>\n

Gauff has been hailed by Andy Roddick<\/a> in the aftermath of her stunning victory, and it would appear that her performance levels have become a very big talking point. <\/p>\n

After her win over Pegula in Wuhan, Rennae Stubbs admitted concerns still for certain aspects of Gauff<\/a> on a tennis court, and that does seem largely unfair. <\/p>\n

It feels like everyone spends time focusing on what Gauff can\u2019t do as opposed to what she can, and this year she\u2019s proved that when she\u2019s in her top form, few can live with her. <\/p>\n

Koenig has suggested that he, too, was too critical in the past and has spotted something that Gauff does that very often slips loosely under the radar. <\/p>\n

He said on the Inside-In podcast: \u201cShe ran through the Wuhan draw, she drummed everybody, it was straight sets all the way through, she was that good. It\u2019s almost like when she has a loss, she has that selective memory to just say, \u2018Okay, tomorrow is a new day.\u2019 <\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s quite an enigma to me with that stuff because I\u2019m always going on about some of the technical deficiencies, but she constantly reminds me about the importance of grit, the importance of athleticism in any sport, and we can never undervalue that. The eye test is always looking for technical perfection, and sometimes we can neglect the stuff that we can\u2019t always see and that stuff is important at the sharp end of any sport, and she\u2019s got those in spades. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt does beg the question, though, of when she\u2019s playing those sorts of matches, the finals of 1000s and the finals of majors, where is that level going to be on that day?\u201d<\/p>\n
