RedZone Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 Showing out on the Wimbledon Big Stage at 15 years old. Pretty damn impressive. She has now advanced to the round of 16. Coco is based in Delray Beach, FL with lots of family still in the NOLA area. Pulling for Coco! https://www.nola.com/sports/article_777ef74e-9d77-11e9-b6c3-0be390a05dde.html The tennis courts Corey Gauff played on as a teenager during his summer visits to family members in Reserve and LaPlace were nothing like the ones his daughter is getting to play on. One of the courts was at the Dupont Plant, about 20 miles outside of New Orleans. The other was at Regala Park. "I'm shocked I can still remember the names of those places," Gauff said via telephone from London. His 15-year old daughter Coco won't have any trouble remembering where she played as a teenager, especially after she stunned the tennis world Monday by knocking off Venus Williams in the first round at Wimbledon. Her magical ride continued Wednesday with an even more impressive 6-3, 6-3 victory over 30-year old Magdalena Rybarikova in the second round. It's all still sinking in for her father, born in New Orleans before the family moved to Florida when he was an infant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom ran track for FSU and dad played hoops at Georgia State. Coco was born in Atlanta......just saying she has some major NOLA ties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
