During her press conference ahead of the Wuhan Open, Coco Gauff opened up about the support of her mother throughout her career. She revealed that her mother has been a big support for her from the very beginning. From packing her things to traveling with her, Candi Gauff has always been there for her daughter.
"Other than that, it's great to have my mom. She's my biggest fan for sure. Having one or both of my parents I think always makes the tournament easier. You don't have to take care of some things."
