Coco Gauff is back in Auckland, where she'll try to defend her trophy from last year at the ASB Classic, but the bigger goal is to win another Grand Slam. 2023 was an interesting year for Coco Gauff because it had highlights and some less good things happening. For example, she started last year by winning the Auckland event, which was the perfect way to start the year, but things went sideways after that.
