Overview

• Daly confirmed his recent departure to journalist Ben Rothenberg and deferred any formal announcement to Gauff, who has not publicly commented.
• Gauff was seen practicing in New York with longtime mentor J.C. Faurel and MacMillan on court at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.
• Her serve has been a major concern, with a tour-high 320 double faults this season, including 42 across three matches at the Canadian Open.
• Under Daly and Faurel, Gauff won the China Open, the WTA Finals, and the 2025 French Open before a dip that included a first-round exit at Wimbledon and just four wins since Paris.
• The US Open main draw begins Sunday, and reports indicate Gauff, ranked No. 3, is slated for a Thursday night exhibition at Arthur Ashe Stadium.
