Coco Gauff has shared a sweet video of her brother celebrating her victory at the US Open.
19-year-old Gauff had a dream run at the last Grand Slam of the year in New York. The American repeatedly lived up to the pressure of being one of the home favorites by ousting the likes of Caroline Wozniacki, Jelena Ostapenko, and Karolina Muchova on her way to her first final at Flushing Meadows.
Once there, she faced second seed and new World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka. The Belarusian was aiming for her second major title after winning the Australian Open earlier this year and started strongly by taking the first set 6-2.

However, Gauff fought back hard to emerge victorious from the match 2-6 6-3 6-2 and to lift the first Grand Slam trophy of her career in front of a home crowd. The American also earned 3 million dollars from winning the major and rose to World No. 3 in the WTA Ranking.
Gauff shares emotional video of family celebration
While there were many people celebrating Gauff's victory, it was the young star's brother who perhaps had one of the sweetest reactions to her winning match point. In a video shared by Gauff herself, he can be seen watching the final on the television.
As he and several others watch Gauff take the win, the room erupts into cheers. Her brother can be seen fist-bumping the air as he screams with happinness.

Gauff captioned the post on X, formerly known as Twitter:
"no wonder my brother didn’t answer the phone. legend says he’s still screaming to this day," followed by a laugh-till-cry emoji.
In her speech at the victory ceremony, Gauff jokingly mentioned that her brother hadn't picked up when she tried to call him after the win.
"I facetimed my brother right after but he didn't answer... and then he called me later but I had to go," she told the crowd at Flushing Meadows.
Gauff also thanked her family, especially her parents, for supporting her and helping her to reach these incredible heights in her career.
"Thank you guys. You believed in me from the beginning. My dad took me to this tournament, sitting right there, watching Venus and Serena compete, so it's really incredible to win on this stage," she said.

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Enough of her bullshit. Go marry someone.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.
mandoist05-11-2026 - Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.
mandoist05-11-2026 - Vacherot is Mongasque, rather than Swiss. The tournament was Swiss :DTrwd7702-11-2026
- After a couple decades traveling to IIHF tourneys overseas... our family is done with it... and I will not be the only one!! Bad enough the NHL allows Ovachenko (a Putin Supporter and Campaigner) to live and play in the USA. Let's not forget the STATE SPONSORED RUSSIAN DOPING PROGRAMS still in effect today.
mandoist31-10-2026 - Osaka's mental state apparently does not allow her to reach any more Quarter Finals? I mean, she doesn't really have the time for tennis with all the pre-planning that must go into her 12 year-old "fashion" goals.
