Coco Gauff gets emotional recounting seeing dad cry for first time after winning 2023 US Open ❤️🏆

[@kimanimzalendo367]

"Honor your father and your mother" - With Coco, it is plain to see that she truly honors her parents from her heart

[@pontusschroder8361]

You should only honor your parents if they deserve to be honored

[@alifc1082]

She has good reads to honor them. Before comes "love your children unconditionally"

[@jasonaltig985]

Why should someone honor their parents just because they are their parents? If they are good parents great, but there are plenty of sh!tty parents out there. No parent should be “honored” just because they are a parent.

Coco Gauff is part of ushering in a new era of US Open Tennis. The energy from the US Open home crowd in 2023 has been on another level, kind of like a football (soccer) crowd. And Coco has definitely been playing to the fans in the stadium and bringing her own infectious energy to each match throughout this tournament. I love it and I hope it continues.
