When Coco Gauff shared the importance of her parents company on tour
During her campaign at the 2023 US Open, Coco Cauff credited her parents Candi and Corey for their unwavering support, calling them her "support system."
"I think for me, my parents have continued to be my advocates. You know, when you’re working with a team that you just met, well, now they know me well, but I guess in the beginning, yeah, my parents would have to explain to them what works with me, what doesn’t. They’re just really my support system," Coco Gauff said.
The former US Open champion shared how her parents help her stay organized, with her father regularly providing scouting reports for each match.
"They’re helping me remember, you know, my clothes and everything, and my dad is still sending me scouting reports for every match. But my mom is more so, you know, just being a mom. My dad just being dad other than the scouting report part,” she added.
