Who is in Coco Gauff's box at French Open? All you need to know

Coco Gauff is currently embroiled in a semifinal clash against home favorite Lois Boisson at the 2025 French Open. Though the American will find the French crowd rooting for the wildcard, she will also receive some heavy support from her team during this battle.

Gauff's box features her team, which has been travelling with her from tournament to tournament all season long. Her box today features her mother, Candi Gauff, who is a regular in her daughter's box. Helping her reach her top level are also her coaches, Matt Daly, who joined her team in the latter stages of the 2024 season, and Jean-Christophe Faurel, a longtime member of the 21-year-old's team.

Coming to tennis, the American had a comfortable start to her French Open campaign, ousting Olivia Gadecki, Tereza Valentova, Marie Bouzkova, and 20th seed Ekaterina Alexandrova. In the quarterfinal, she showed her resilient side to come back from a set down and defeat her rival and fifth seed Madison 6-7(6), 6-4, 6-1 to reach her second consecutive semifinal at the event.

It is also worth noting that her father, Corey, stopped being in her box since Wimbledon in 2023. The American explained the reason behind his absence at the Australian Open last year.

“My dad, he doesn’t give the best reactions in the box, he’s a very emotional person" - Coco Gauff on her father's absence

Following her fourth-round win against Magdalena Frech at the Australian Open last year, Coco Gauff was asked about the absence of her father, Corey, from her box. The American said that though her dad was in the premises, he wasn't in the box because of his emotional reactions. She revealed they then came to a mutual decision to have him in the premises, but not in her box.

"Yeah my dad is here, don't know where but he is here somewhere. My mom does better holding her nerves in the box," Gauff quipped.

"So my dad you know sometimes says some words that I can't say right here and then I hear him and I get mad so um we agreed so that he can go say them somewhere else around here," Gauff said.

The World No. 2 also explained that the last time her father was in her box was at Wimbledon in 2023, where she was eliminated in the opening round by Sofia Kenin. As soon as they decided to have Corey out of her box, Coco Gauff went on to win the US Open that year. Interestingly, her superstitious father decided to follow the system of not being in her box since then.

"Wimbledon was probably the last time I will ever see him in my box," Gauff said during the interview. "Yeah I mean I am not superstitious at all (but) he's incredibly superstitious," she said.

Coco Gauff defeated Lois Boisson 6-1, 6-2 and is set to face Aryna Sabalenka in the final of the 2025 French Open.
