“Wimbledon was probably the last time I will ever see him in my box”- Coco Gauff on her dad’s superstitions when she plays
World No. 4 Coco Gauff’s recent comments on her father’s superstitions left the crowd at the Australian Open’s Rod Laver Arena in splits. During her on-court interview after her fourth-round win over Poland’s Magdalena Frech, the reigning US Open champion was asked about her father Corey Gauff’s superstitious behaviour.Corey used to cheer for his daughter from the player’s box during her early days as a tennis professional. However, during the US Open quarterfinals last year, he was not seen in the stadium. Gauff later explained that her dad was doing laps around the stadium to calm his nerves.
“Wimbledon was probably the last time I will ever see him in my box,” Gauff said during the interview. “Yeah I mean I am not superstitious at all (but) he’s incredibly superstitious,” she said.
