The Flushing Meadows incident in which Gauff took a moment to sit on her bench, only to call her sibling, still lingers around. The US Open champion wanted to share her first major success with her brother directly. For Gauff, family and success go hand in hand. So, as her brother’s special day came, Gauff showered her love on Codey.

The Cincinnati Masters champion penned a sweet birthday wish for her brother. But the teenager’s mother beat her in wishing Codey his Sweet 16. Gauff shared a memorable collage for her brother, featuring the timeline of their relationship with goofy pictures.

On her Instagram story, she wrote, “happy birthday little bro. BIG 16!!! Thanks for being my biggest cheerleader. Love you @codeygauff. Enjoy it ❤️❤️.” The French Open finalist has spoken highly of her siblings and often showered her love and admiration on her little brothers.

Codey is the oldest brother, and Cameron is the youngest of all. Earlier this year, Gauff shared how her siblings contributed to her success as a champion and person.

The Gauff siblings and their talents

In the pre-tournament conference of the Qatar Open, Gauff shared how she attained maturity at such a young age. She revealed that being the older sister made her feel responsible for her brothers. The American champion wanted to become the role model that her siblings could look up to, and she achieved it.

Like Gauff, her siblings, too, pursue athletic interests to forge a path of their own. Codey is a baseball pitcher, and the Flushing Meadows champion publicly admired him for his talent. There was a viral video on social media of Codey playing baseball and getting the runner with an incredible missile. “That’s my brother!” Coco Gauff announced on Twitter.

Cameron, too, proved that he was no less than his elder siblings when he designed Gauff’s New Balance shoes. As the Australian Open and the Olympics inch closer, many more heartwarming moments await as the Gauffs emerge as one of the most potent athletic families in the US.
