French Open 2024: Coco Gauff Reveals How Mother Candi Has Become a Ray of Sunshine in an Otherwise ‘Lonely’ Life on Tour

Parents are the pillars of the success of every child. Ask Coco Gauff, who has received massive support from her parents throughout her tennis career. Not only did they give up their careers to support Gauff but they also motivated her to pursue a career in this field. It eventually bore fruit as the American sensation has gone on to become one of the best players currently. Recently, the 20-year-old revealed how her mother’s presence and always “always looking out” for her is helping her ahead of the French Open.

Gauff is eyeing a first title at the Grand Slam tournament in Paris. She came close to winning it a couple of years back but faltered in the summit clash. However, as revealed in an interview recently, Gauff has got a major boost with her parents’ presence. Talking about how her mother’s presence helps her at tournaments, she said, “I mean, it’s just little things like laundry or I will forget something. Just little things like that that moms are always looking out for and dads sometimes too, but even he forgets sometimes.”

Further, Gauff went on to add, “So really it is my mom keeping both of us in check. It is great having them on tour with me. It can get lonely sometimes, so it is nice to have my parents here.”

Coco Gauff and her mother Candi often share glimpses of their time together during off days. They share a wonderful bond as is evident from Gauff’s recent message to her mother.

When Coco Gauff adored her mother’s looks as she stole the show

Last month, Gauff’s mother and grandmother attended the National Coalition of 100 Black Women’s Luncheon in Florida. On this occasion, Gauff’s mother, Candi, spotted a new look which she shared on her Instagram handle.

Additionally, she wrote, “Enjoyed the luncheon today sponsored by NCBW South Palm Beach Chapter. Congratulations to the honorees, especially my mother and the 10 high school scholarship recipients, especially my cousin Courtney Lowe.”

The American tennis sensation was left stunned by her mother’s looks. She sported a navy blue sleeveless skirt and left Gauff in awe of her with her outfit. Commenting on that post, the 20-year-old wrote, “pretty,” along with a heart-shaped eyes emoji.
