Coco Gauff Became a Homeowner at Age 20—but Still Uses Her Parents’ Palatial Florida Mansion for One Key Amenity

Tennis sensation Coco Gauff's history-making run at Wimbledon came to an end after she was defeated in the semifinal round by Czech player Karolína Muchová in a nail-biting tiebreaker.

When Gauff, 22, secured her spot in the penultimate round of the tournament—by defeating her countrywoman Jessica Pegula—she became the youngest player to reach the semifinals of all four Grand Slams since 2007, when Maria Sharapova secured the same career milestone.

Speaking to reporters in the wake of her Wimbledon loss, Gauff insisted that she had "no regrets" about her performance on the court, noting that she had given it her all while conceding that she had made some costly mistakes in the final few minutes.

"At the end of the day, I left it all out there," she said, according to Sports Illustrated. "My only regret ... I don't have any regrets. I think it's obviously points I want to make better decisions on. But that's how you learn and become a better player."

She added: "It's just one of those days where it didn't go my way. Someone had to lose, and unfortunately, it was me today."

Gauff added that, despite her loss, she was "happy" with her overall performance, explaining that she has plenty to work on before her next tournament—but that she is also taking away a lot of "positives."

"There's a lot of positives. Obviously got super close. Definitely going to think about the second, third, last point, whatever. But overall I think it was a positive tournament for me," she said. "A match for sure to remember. It's tough to digest, but I don't know, I'm happy."

It will be a matter of weeks before the tennis pro returns to the Grand Slam circuit at the U.S. Open, which kicks off on Aug. 30 in New York. It will give her a little bit of time to rest, relax, and get back to training, much of which will likely take place in her Florida hometown, where she has been based since childhood.

Gauff was born in Boca Raton, FL, but spent her earliest years living in Atlanta, where her father, Corey Gauff, was based for work. When she was 7, the family moved back to Florida—this time choosing Delray Beach as their home base—so that the budding athlete could train, having already impressed coaches in Georgia with her skills on the court.

In 2015, Corey and his wife, Candi Gauff, purchased a sizable home in Delray Beach, paying $311,000 for the property, which they have since renovated and expanded.

For years, Gauff, who has an estimated net worth of $35 million, lived and trained with her parents, who installed a tennis court at the family home so that their daughter never had to go far to get in some practice.

That court remains Gauff's primary training ground, even after she took the bold step of purchasing her own dwelling in 2024 at the tender age of 20. At the WTA Finals in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in November of that same year that, she told reporters that while she was relishing turning her house into a home, she was still making very regular trips to her parents' abode.

"I’m just trying to learn how to cook more, something I never really had to do living with both parents who like to cook," she shared. "So, it’s been something that I’ve been experimenting with and had some mostly successes, some failures."

Gauff noted that her new home is located in the same neighborhood as her family's primary residence, explaining that she was continuing to complete practice sessions at her childhood dwelling.

"My parents have a court at home, so I practice there still. So it feels somewhat the same," she said, when asked how it felt to have officially moved out.

However, she explained that she simply reached the stage in her life where she felt the time had come for her to find her own space.

"I just felt like this was a time for me to move out," she shared. "But I’m still in the same city as my parents."

The tennis star first announced the news of her home purchase on Instagram in late 2024, when she shared a simple post that read: "Life update: bought a house a few months ago. Cheers to being a homeowner at 20. All glory to God."

Not long after, she hosted her first major event—welcoming her closest family members to the property for a "cousinsgiving" in November.

Gauff documented the fun-filled event on her Instagram account, where she shared clips of every dish that each person had brought, while revealing a glimpse inside her modern abode, which features a stunning open-plan living and kitchen area, top-of-the-line fixtures and appliances, and a cozy space for watching movies.

The following year, the athlete revealed that she had finally found an opportunity to properly decorate her home for the holidays, sharing photos of her elegant Christmas tree, while admitting that she hadn't managed to put one up the previous year.

At the same time, she shared a glimpse inside her bedroom decor, showcasing a miniature purple tree that was placed behind her bed, as well as three small stockings that were hung on the headboard.

"Even did my bedroom a little bit lol and yes purple is my fav color," she wrote alongside the photo.

As one of the world's top-ranked tennis players, Gauff regularly finds herself away from home, traveling around the globe for tournaments.

This year alone, she has competed at the Australian Open in Melbourne, the Qatar Open, the Dubai Tennis Championships, Indian Wells Masters, the Miami Open, the Stuttgart Open, the Madrid Open, the Italian Open, the French Open, and the Grass Court Championships in Berlin.

She is next expected to take part in the U.S. Open, where she will likely face many of the same competitors as she did at Wimbledon.

The tournament in New York holds many emotional memories for Gauff, who was rocketed into the spotlight in 2023, when she claimed her first Grand Slam victory at the competition, beating Aryna Sabalenka to secure the title.

She added a second Grand Slam win to her resumé in 2025, when she claimed victory in that year's French Open.
