Coco Gauff opens old family album for Corey Gauff's birthday and writes an emotional message about her journey
Coco Gauff took a pause from her busy tennis schedule to share a very personal message for her father, Corey Gauff, on his birthday. On Monday, August 18, 2025, the 21-year-old American posted two unseen photos on her Instagram story showing herself as a child standing beside her father on a tennis court and later relaxing at a beach in Florida.
Along with the photos, Coco Gauff wrote a brief but clear note calling Corey Gauff her "dream fueler" and expressing thanks to her father for consistently supporting her in her tennis career. For her fans, this was a particularly unique post because the two-time Grand Slam champion rarely posts family memories.
Coco Gauff praises Corey Gauff with touching words and sweet throwback pictures
Coco Gauff posted the first picture early in the morning on Monday and wrote,
'Happy birthday to the best to ever do it, the man with a plan, and my dream fueler.
I love you dad @coreygauff.'
The second Instagram story showed the father-daughter duo at a beach and read,
'From the courts straight to the beach, lol the real & best Florida tennis dad.'
These words gave a small look into their close bond. In a recent interview with The National, Coco Gauff said that her father never forced her to play tennis and that the dream was always her own.
She added,
'He was always asking, 'How can I help her accomplish her dreams?''
The American tennis star also shared that Corey Gauff would have supported any decision she made, even if it was outside of tennis.

Instead, I was told "you're a nobody, you should be happy you got to date her". So here's a message from that 'nobody': you tried your level best (and I won't lie, it wasn't easy), but I'm still here, still standing. That should tell you something: your big numbers only matter on an app. There's a real and much bigger world outside - beyond lies and kalesh.'Truth doesn't need 'followers', it stands on its own, he continued.
