Resolution criteria

This market resolves YES if Coco Gauff wins zero matches during the grass court season (defined as tournaments played on grass courts leading up to and including Wimbledon) in the 2026 season. It resolves NO if she wins at least one match on grass in 2026. Resolution will be determined by official WTA records and tournament results published on wtatennis.com.

Background

In 2025, Gauff did not win a match at the Berlin Tennis Open or Wimbledon, falling to Xinyu Wang and Dayana Yastremska respectively. Her grass season ended with a 0-2 record. Her forehand and second-serve issues swiftly returned during the grass court swing. The American hit a staggering 431 double faults in 2025, putting her clear of the rest of the field. She hired biomechanics coach Gavin MacMillan, who previously worked with Aryna Sabalenka on her serving issues, with her first tournament with him ending in a round-of-16 exit to Naomi Osaka at the US Open.

Considerations

Grass has always been Gauff's least preferred surface. Even though Gauff's big breakthrough came at the All England Club at age 15 in 2019, the grass-court tournament has proved to be her least successful major—it's the only Slam where Gauff hasn't made at least the semifinals. The term "airball" in the question refers to failing to win any matches during the grass season, similar to her 2025 performance.
