Gauff has long honored her roots, even releasing a tennis shoe named after her hometown, the Coco Delray, which she made in partnership with New Balance.
"This court... I've had countless of practices here just me and my dad. There's very familiar people I see out here since I was 7 years old and I still see all the time," she said in an interview with CBS Mornings.
"It feels like it was not too long ago when I was here in this position," she added with a laugh, referencing to the little kids that were training there and excitedly meeting her.
