NEW YORK — The tennis star does not know which of her extended family members or friends ticked off her mother.
But on the eve of the U.S. Open, the busiest time of year for many players, especially past champions in New York who are also American, someone had worn on Candi Gauff's nerves enough to make her pick up the phone and start typing.
"Dear family and friends," she wrote on Instagram alongside a picture of her daughter, Coco Gauff, posing with the trophy she'd recently won at the Cincinnati Open.
"I apologize in advance for this blunt, but necessary statement. I know you are very excited about Coco playing in the [sic] US Open. Me too!!! Coco's guest ticket request have already been accounted for. Unfortunately, I will not be able to hook you up with a ticket. Please make arrangements to purchase a ticket. Side note, never ask for more than 2 tickets. Coco is grown now and she has her own friends that she is honoring tickets for the match. Thank you for your continued support."
Her post resonated. "Say it louder for the people in the back," Jessica Pegula wrote in a comment.
