Coco Gauff, who was once seen as the next Serena Williams, faced a tough exit from the US Open, losing in the fourth round to compatriot Emma Navarro. The defeat was especially difficult for the 20-year-old, who had high expectations after winning the US Open the previous year.

After the match, Gauff shared a heartfelt post on Instagram, expressing her disappointment but also her determination to come back stronger. Her mother, Candi Gauff, quickly stepped in to offer comfort, resharing the post with two heart emojis and tagging her daughter. Candi, a constant presence in Coco’s box during matches, has always been a source of support and encouragement for her daughter.

Gauff reflected on her support system, saying, “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.”
