What a start Coco Gauff has had to her Miami Open campaign. Earlier today, she broke hardly any sweat to get the better of Nadia Podoroska in straight sets and enter the third round. The American sensation is the third seed in the tournament and one of the favorites to win the title there. Moreover, with the support of the local crowd, she’ll have an added advantage during her matches. Along with this, Gauff also has her near and dear ones cheering for her at the tournament.

Coco Gauff and her family live near the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, the venue of the ongoing Miami Open. As a result, commuting to the tournament is not very difficult for her family. Thus, she expects everyone in her family to be present during her matches.
