Coco Gauff’s mom lost it when her daughter won the U.S. Open

There’s nothing stronger than a parent’s love for their children, and there’s nothing more joyous than watching your kid achieve something in front of the entire world.

That’s the feeling that Candi Gauff had on Saturday as she watched her daughter Coco Gauff win the 2023 U.S. Open and complete her first career Grand Slam.

It’s a remarkable moment for Coco Gauff, who was not favored to win over Aryna Sabalenka during Saturday’s closing match.

The second that Coco Gauff earned the historic victory, Candi Gauff became jubilant and celebrated her daughter’s major accomplishment. Seeing her be overcome with joy as her daughter stuns the world is just the absolute best.

The family love is clearly strong in the Gauff family, and now Coco Gauff will get to bring home the trophy and celebrate it with the rest of her family and all of her friends.

It’s a special moment for the Gauffs, one that further defines Coco Gauff as one of the world’s best tennis players.
