Australian Open: Coco Gauff reveals what's written on her shoes that serves as her guiding light

Tennis star Coco Gauff has revealed her guiding light when she's down during a match, which are the things written on her shoes.

Gauff made this known after her fourth-round match against Magdalena Frech, in which she defeated the Pole 6-1, 6-2 to reach the Australian Open quarterfinals for the first time.

When asked about what’s written on her shoes after reaching the quarterfinals, the American youngster gave deep insights into the background relating to her family.

“A lot of things written. One is ‘You can change the world with your racquet.’ Something my dad told me since I was a little girl," said Gauff.

"It’s an inspiration for why I feel it’s important to speak up about certain issues. Another thing is the coordinates to the park I grew up in Pompey Park. I grew up playing on public tennis courts in Del Rey Beach Florida.

"The last thing I have is my little brother’s name on the show. I love you guys. Cameron just got MVP for his football team. So I’m really proud of you Cam.”

Gauff also talked about how the words motivate her when she's down in a match.

“Sometimes when my mom thinks I’m negative when I look down, I’m just looking at my shoe just a reminder that life is much more than tennis.

"How I do on the court does not define me as a person. That goes for everyone. Your workplace, whatever you do, doesn’t define you as a person. Just surround yourself with good people. Everything I do on the court is a plus to my life. I have everything I need. This is just all extra,” she concluded.
