Cori Gauff’s mother Candy and father Corey have been enduring all sorts of challenges to support their daughter to achieve tennis greatness. Coco’s father is also her coach and he had the courage to drop his job as a healthcare executive to become her daughter’s head coach.
Corey has been following Coco all over the world, and on Monday he and his wife Candy saw their daughter winning her first match in the Roland Garros main draw while battling against extremely cold temperatures in Paris.
Eventually, that paid off as Gauff managed to win a relatively quick match against Jo Konta 6-3 6-3.
