Candi and Corey Gauff went from a “single-income family” to a “no-income family” when they helped Coco Gauff to realise her tennis dream.

Candi and Corey Gauff made an extraordinary sacrifice to support their daughter Coco Gauff’s tennis dream. Initially a single-income family, they made the bold decision to become a no-income household so they could dedicate themselves fully to Coco’s development. Corey gave up his job in healthcare, while Candi left her career as an educator. They invested their time, money, and energy into nurturing Coco’s talent, believing wholeheartedly in her potential.

The Gauffs moved from Atlanta to Florida, a hub for tennis training, and took on roles as coach and manager to guide Coco’s early journey. Despite the financial strain and uncertainty, their belief in their daughter never wavered. They prioritized Coco’s training, competitions, and education, building a strong support system around her.

Their sacrifice began to bear fruit when Coco burst onto the international tennis scene as a teenager, stunning the world with her performance at Wimbledon 2019. Today, she is one of the brightest young stars in tennis, but her success is also a testament to the dedication and faith of her parents. Candi and Corey’s journey shows the depth of parental love and the extraordinary lengths they went to in helping their daughter achieve greatness.
