Matt Daly has wasted no time making changes to Coco Gauff’s game and the results speak for themselves.

&nbsp;
The World number four decided it was time for a change after going five straight tournaments without making at least the quarter-finals.
&nbsp;
But since Gauff replaced coach Brad Gilbert with Daly in September, she has yet to lose and is just two matches away from winning her second title in a row.
&nbsp;
Gauff mentioned previously that Daly wants to improve her serve, but there are other aspects of her game that he is changing.
&nbsp;
What is the change Matt Daly has made to Coco Gauff‘s game?

&nbsp;
Coco Gauff seems to be enjoying life under coach Daly and she has gone on a nine-match win streak since failing to defend her US Open title.
&nbsp;
She is looking more aggressive and consistent with the forehand and is increasing the amount of points she is winning behind her second serve.
&nbsp;
But following Gauff’s fourth round victory over Marta Kostyuk at the Wuhan Open, she hinted at Daly changing her grip, which at times caused her difficulty, especially with her forehand.

&nbsp;
“Yeah, I saw they found that,“ Gauff said about reaching the Wuhan Open quarter-finals. “He has a lot of expertise in that area.
&nbsp;
“Honestly, not just that. He does really good at tactical stuff, mental side, too. But yeah, Matt is great. We’re changing stuff.
&nbsp;
“I don’t want to give too much of what’s going on, but there are changes happening. I’ve been playing with them since Beijing.”

&nbsp;
Gauff took her win percentage in China to 92.9% when she eased past Magda Linette on Friday morning.
&nbsp;
The former US Open champion needed just one hour and 24 minutes to complete a 6-4, 6-0 win in which she did not get her serve broken.
&nbsp;
“I’m really happy with how I played,” Gauff said. “Obviously a smooth first set. Had chances to maybe close it out in the 5-3 game in the second, but I was happy I was able to close it out on my serve.”
&nbsp;
Gauff will face a tough test in the semi-final against top seed Aryna Sabalenka, in what will be their first contest since January’s Australian Open semi-final.
