Sports, in general, have always been a cornerstone of the Gauff family. Take Corey and Candi, for example.

Naturally, their three children followed their path.

Coco, of course, has become one of the best professional tennis players in the world, winning the prestigious US Open and reaching a career-high ranking of World No. 3 at the age of just 20. Meanwhile, her two brothers, Corey and Cameron, have also developed a strong passion for sports as Corey pursued baseball and advanced his career by joining the University of Missouri’s NCAA Division 1 baseball team. And, as for the youngest sibling, Cameron, he has shown keen interest in various sports, particularly in the NFL. However, in a recent turn of events, the youngest sibling was spotted playing tennis, an unexpected moment that caught Candi’s attention. And her words of praise might just inspire him to follow in his sister’s footsteps!

Yesterday, one of the Instagram channels named “Fast Living Productions LLC” shared a video of Corey and Cameron practicing tennis. The clip particularly highlighted their father helping his youngest son refine his backhand skills with intense training.

As soon as the video went viral, Candi wasted no time in praising Cameron for following in his sister’s footsteps while also exploring multiple sports as she commented, “Keep putting in the hours. Multi-sport athlete.”

Not only that! Candi also shared the same video of father and son practicing in the court in her own Instagram story, by adding heart emojis. In addition to excelling in multiple sports, Cameron has consistently received praise from his family for his creativity.

Cameron Gauff got a new career milestone with his artistic side

Both of Coco Gauff‘s brothers are talented in their unique ways. While the elder one is on a path to becoming a professional baseball player, the youngest showcases a diverse range of talents. Let’s talk about his artistic skills. In 2023, Coco proudly revealed Cameron’s impressive painting abilities by saying, “We always poke fun that Cameron is the favorite because he’s the youngest. But no, he just goes on his own path. He’s a true youngest sibling. Now, on my door in my room, I have one of his drawings up there.”

Soon after, Cameron’s talent caught the attention of Coco’s sponsor, NB. New Balance asked Cameron to design a sneaker. But that wasn’t the only artistic skill that earned him recognition. Coco later shared another exciting career milestone of Cameron, this time with a hilarious twist!

Time and again, Coco has done her sisterly duties while encouraging her youngest brother to pursue one of his other artistic habits, Music. For instance, once Cameron learned a section of Tyler, the Creator’s song Euphonium on his trombone, Coco praised that by saying, “My little brother learned the trombone part of ‘Sticky’ by Tyler, the Creator, on his euphonium,” on her IG story.

However, the highest praise came from Coco’s end when Cameron accomplished his first band concert and she proudly shared the moment on her IG stories, celebrating her brother’s musical achievement with enthusiasm, by saying, “qb1 and band member lol not a common duo his first band concert!”
