Who is Coco Gauff's father?

Coco Gauff rose to prominence after defeating Venus Williams three years ago at the  Wimbledon tournament. She was just 15 when she beat Venus. The American sensational young talent has also made headlines after thrashing Belgian tennis pro-Elise Mertens in an effortless manner over the weekend.

Who is Coco Gauff’s father Corey Gauff?

She has advanced to the quarter-finals and will face her countrywoman Sloane Stephens in a thrilling match today (May 31) at 11 a.m.

Away from tennis Gauff was to Candi and Corey Gauff, both of whom are from Delray Beach, Florida. Apparently her dad Corey was a college basketball player at Georgia State University before becoming a health care executive.

The 18-year-old’s father is constantly seen at his daughter’s games, but he always hides from the spotlight. He is the reason Coco has become who she is today; while she was growing up, he discovered the talent in her and nurtured it to the point where he hired a trainer to assist in Coco’s development.
