Coco Gauff, 19-year-old American maverick and 2023 US Open Champion, has taken over the tennis world. Appreciated for her bold ways and unending passion, she doesn’t go easy on her opponents. She fights for every point like it’s the match point and dishes out big winners. While tennis professionals are understandable, Gauff apparently doesn’t let even her brothers off the hook so easily!

In an interview with a leading media brand, she recently revealed that competitiveness flows in the family and can also be seen in her younger brothers, who also happen to be athletes.

Coco Gauff ‘Won’t Go Easy’ On Even Her Brothers

In a recent exclusive with lifestyle and fashion magazine Vogue, Coco Gauff could be seen in her element. The tennis star, known to show no mercy to her opponents, revealed that she does the same with her brothers. Gauff’s coach Brad Gilbert told Vogue, “You can tell she has a ton of love for her brothers and wants success for them,” he said. “But I think if they’re playing a game of some sort, she wants to crush them.”

Gauff confirms, “I don’t taunt or bully or cheat. But if they ask me to go easy, I won’t.” Talking about their family’s sporting culture, Gilbert says she’d often spend quality time with her younger brothers: Cameron, aged 10, who excels in football, and Codey, aged 16, who’s a skilled baseball player. Whether attending their games or engaging in spirited ping-pong matches, the Gauff household exudes a competitive spirit.

The Gauffs are a rich reservoir of athletic prowess; parents Corey and Candi were athletes themselves. Coco’s father Corey also was her primary coach. Nonetheless, the focus isn’t solely on Coco Gauff, as her younger brothers are busy charting their course to triumph too. And right by their side is their older sister, always rooting for them.

Codey Gauff, 14 years old, the middle child of the Gauff clan, may not attract as much attention as his sister Coco, but he’s already flaunting his athletic abilities. Codey has been spotted demonstrating his prowess as a baseball pitcher, indicating his fondness for America’s beloved pastime. Athleticism courses through the veins of the Gauff family, with Codey proving to be a good example.

All of 10, the youngest in the family, Cameron Gauff is determined to follow in his sister Coco’s footsteps and become a pro athlete. Impressively he and Coco even collaborated and designed sneakers for Coco’s shoe line. It shows Cameron’s creative side and how close he is to his sister.

Coco Gauff often talks about how her brothers have influenced her tennis journey. Being the oldest sibling helped her mature quickly and become mentally tough on the tennis court. Before playing in the Qatar Open, Coco said, “I’m the oldest of three siblings. Maybe that’s why I’ve grown up so fast.”

The Gauff family it seems is all about competition and support. While Coco shines in tennis, her brothers too are making their mark in sports and creative endeavors!
