Cori Gauff is finally having a great run in a tournament after a not-so-great start of the season. The upcoming American didn’t go beyond the 2nd round in the 3 tournaments that she played in 2021 to raise some doubts about her form.
However, Coco is battling her way through in Adelaide, where she reached the quarter-finals after starting her campaign from the qualifications. Gauff wasn’t perfect in her quest to win the last 3 matches in 3 sets. Nevertheless, it seems she has found her mental toughness again.
Coaches and parents
Coco Gauff’s parents are both in Adelaide with their daughter. Her father Corey has been coaching Coco since the beginning of her career. He is currently helped by Jean-Christophe Faurel that joined Coco’s team in 2019 just 4 months before her fantastic run.
As a former track and field athlete at Florida State University, Coco’s mother Candi knows what it takes to be competitive in any sport and therefore she is a great point of reference for her daughter.
Next vs. Rogers
Cori Gauff will come up against Rogers in the quarter. In the past, they have never competed against each other as of now in top tournaments.
