Two-time American Grand Slam champion Coco Gauff has rediscovered her form after a crushing US Open exit in the fourth round last year against Naomi Osaka, and credited her resurgence to spending more time interacting with her family, especially her younger brother Cameron, 13.
In a recent interview with US magazine People, Gauff said: “Have you seen those memes where it’s like, ‘Who can you call right now for a billion dollars?’ That’s definitely my younger brother, Cameron. I know he’ll always pick up. I’ve been calling my family a lot these days, bothering them when I’m bored and they’ve always been picking up the call. I’m so grateful for them.”
