Parents of 15-year-old Wimbledon star Cori Gauff say Venus Williams family 'paved the way' for her tennis success.
Proud parents Corey and Candi Gauff watched their 15-year-old daughter, Cori"Coco" Gauff, defeat her tennis idol Venus Williams at Wimbledon on Monday, saying it was the Williams family who"paved the way" for girls like their daughter to have success in the sport.
Before her impressive performance on the grass, Cori said in a pre-match interview that she has “been dreaming to share the court with Venus.” "It finally has clicked in with her that if you just take one point at a time, one stroke at a time, one game at a time and just focus, breathe, move around and everything will come together," Candi Gauff said."And it just came together."
