Candi and Corey Gauff are their daughter’s biggest supporters

In a 2019 interview with Gayle King on “CBS This Morning” after she had beaten tennis legend Venus Williams in the first round of Wimbledon, Coco Gauff said her parents were her biggest supporters and she draws support from them.

“In the match, I try not to look at my parents too much, but definitely when I have a big ‘Come on!’ or I scream, I look at them because they kind of hype me up,” she said. “And then sometimes when I feel a little bit tight during a match, I look at them because they just give me fist pumps, so that just shows me that everything’s gonna be okay. They’re definitely my biggest supporters.”
