SHOCK NEWS: Coco Gauff SUDDENLY RETURNED TO Delray Beach after discovering devastating news about her mother. In tears, she revealed that the shock could mean she can no longer play tennis. “I feel like I’ve let my fans down, but I hope everyone can understand…” Full story below
Teenage tennis sensation Coco Gauff’s fighting spirit comes from her trailblazing grandmother who has beaten cancer as well as racial prejudice, DailyMailTV can reveal.
Yvonne Odom, 73, is now in remission from stage four lung cancer and when she was Coco’s age – 15 – she enrolled as the first African-American student at a local all-white high school in 1961, making headlines like her superstar granddaughter.
Odom, a retired teacher and mother of three, is now looking after Coco’s younger brothers Codey, 11, and Cameron, six, at her home in Florida while her daughter Candi (Coco’s mother) and son-in-law Corey remain in London with Wimbledon’s latest star.
Coco – the youngest player to reach Wimbledon’s last 16 since Jennifer Capriati in 1991 – lost to Simona Halep Monday, missing out on a place in the quarter-finals.
But like millions of tennis fans grandmother Yvonne and husband Eddie, 75, have been glued to the TV watching Coco’s amazing run in this year’s championship.
The proud grandma said: ‘Coco’s comeback against Polona was as dramatic as it gets but I knew she would do it.
‘When that girl sets her mind to win, she wins. She never steps on a tennis court thinking anything other than she will win.’
Yvonne texted Rihanna and Serena Williams fan Coco after the game saying ‘never say die’.
She also told her that God did not give her the spirit of fear but power and self control.
Coco comes from a deeply religious family. Coco’s great-grandfather Rev. Randolph M Lee built and founded their local church, St John Missionary Baptist in Boynton Beach.
‘The church is a big part of our lives and always has been,’ Yvonne said.
‘We joke as a family that Rev Lee is up there in heaven nudging God to make sure things go Coco’s way on that tennis court.
