She has stormed to the quarter-finals of the Rome Masters, where she will be facing Mirra Andreeva, as the two WTA players must be eyeing a semi-final berth in this game. Recently, she thwarted Emma Raducanu in the fourth round of the Italian Open 2025 to make it to the last eight rounds.

She was the finalist in the Mutua Madrid Open 2025 before Aryna Sabalenka defeated her. She will be aiming to continue her stellar run in the next game to bolster the preparations for the French Open 2025.

In her recent Instagram story, USA star player Coco Gauff reshared an image from Cassidy in which she was seen in front of her university sign while wearing the hat. The basketball player's message reads, 'Black Lives Matter.' Thereafter, Gauff took some time and acknowledged her cousin's post.

Coco Gauff was always seen hailing her mother, Candi, as one of the most inspiring and influential figures in her life. Meanwhile, Gauff's mother, Candi, has also talked about raising her daughter with the right values in the Mutua Madrid Open 2025. In one of the interviews, Gauff's mother was seen talking about the life lessons she had shared with her daughter as she was growing up.

"Just make sure that you understand morals and values and have good character and are a good person first, and then your tennis. A lot of times, people focus more on your tennis and think that’s your avenue out, but no, you have to be a good person first," Candi said.
