Codey Gauff has followed her sister's athletic footsteps, but showed interest in baseball at an early age. He attended the Elite Squad Baseball Academy and graduated in the spring this year, heading to Missouri to start an NCAA career in the 2026 season.

The middle son of the Gauff family has received constant support from his family, even for his smallest career achievements. In a recent Instagram post, the rising baseball star introduced himself, throwing light on his determination to be a better player in the future.

In an interview with Vogue in 2024, the American No. 1 talked about how the presence of her loving family makes her feel less pressured.

"My brothers Codey and Cameron are definitely my biggest support, and they always root for me. And humble me. When I do well, they’re still going to make fun of me. And when I do bad, they’re still going to make fun of me."

She added:

“Sometimes, when you’re competing, you feel like you’re putting your whole life into whatever match you’re playing and that the odds are life or death, that’s what’s on the line. But obviously, it’s not. Having people like them around makes you feel that pressure less.”

Gauff competed at the Cincinnati Open, reaching the quarterfinals but being defeated by Jasmine Paolini in two sets.
