In the exclusive podcast, the energetic player was quoted, “I don’t like to spend money. When I had my first Grand Slam check, I wanted a car but my dad had already bought it and, I don’t know what to buy now. My brother always said he wanted a Bugatti. I told him you better make it big if you want a Bugatti.”

Gauff reveals valuable advice she got from her brother

Gauff once shared about her younger brother, Codey’s skills in tennis. Hitting a drop shot is nothing less than an art in itself, as can be seen in professional matches. According to Gauff, Codey always goes for a drop shot, whenever he plays with his sister. He calls the shot ‘snake ball’ and even advised Gauff to “watch out for the snake ball” in one of her matches.
