Coco Gauff bursts into laughter as card game with mother Candi, father Corey & Christopher Eubanks takes unexpected turn
Coco Gauff recently dropped a chill surprise on fans, posting snippets of a card game night with family and friends. She teamed up with mom Candi, dad Corey, ATP buddy Chris Eubanks, and his girlfriend Anna Mitchell for some laid-back fun.
Gauff and Eubanks go way back—they grind together on the practice court, where she credits his vibe for sharpening her focus. Off-duty, they’re tight, like that time they hit an escape room with Ben Shelton and Mitchell. Gauff’s said their bond is a sweet escape from the WTA grind.
In her latest clip, Gauff caught Eubanks and Mitchell mid-game, with Candi and Corey jumping in, all smiles. She split them into “old school” (parents) and “new school” (the rest)—and jaws dropped when “old school” smoked the round. “Old school vs new school in spades! lol old school just ran a boston,” she captioned, tagging the table crew. That’s right—Candi and Corey swept all 13 tricks, leaving everyone stunned.

Gauff fired back at haters ragging on her up-and-down 2025, slamming the panic over her losses. At her Indian Wells presser, she laid it out: “Everyone’s freaking out—it’s just two matches. I’ll lose more; it happens. They’re like, ‘She’s done.’ Been here before—I’ll bounce back.”
“It feels like forever to me, but it’s two tournaments. With this schedule, I’ve got tons of shots. Can’t win ‘em all,” she shrugged, oozing confidence for the BNP Paribas Open.
Her year’s had lows—Melbourne quarters were solid, but Doha and Dubai? Rough. Marta Kostyuk and McCartney Kessler sent her packing in openers. Now, she’s amped for Indian Wells, set to launch March 7 against a yet-to-be-named round-of-64 foe.
