How can the same player who thrashed Gauff under an inexperienced coach while struggling with knee problems, and defeated Andreescu and Barty with her father as her coach, lose to Coco Gauff in straight sets after hiring an experienced coach? I don't understand.

It could be for a variety of reasons. Her opponent (Coco Gauff) may have undergone intense practice sessions and improved her game since the last meeting.

Also, in sports, on some days, you're just not on your 'A' game. It's unexplainable. It just happens. Anyone into sports can attest to this phenomenon. The human factor. The difference is the really great ones oftentimes find a way to win even on bad days through sheer will, experience, wits and whatnot. We just witnessed Serena (arguably the G.O.A.T in women's tennis in the open era) getting bounced out of the Aussie Open by a Chinese underdog who she trounced in straight sets (6-0, 6-1) in well under an hour last September in a major. Uncharacteristically, she made 56 unforced errors in her latest shocking defeat.

Indeed, it could be that Gauff now has understood Naomi's game better, having had the experience of playing her under the bright lights and has learnt from her past mistakes and prepared a solid game plan to thwart her opponent. That, my friend, is the beauty of sports.

WTA players have never been predictable in grandslams.
Rookies beat champs.
You of all people should know this.
