Cassidy and Courtney Lowe, Coco Gauff's cousins, played basketball at Boca Raton High School before entering their collegiate basketball in the HBCUAC conference. In December, the sisters went head-on against each other with their respective Division I NAIA teams.

As per the Palm Beach Post, Cassidy Lowe said her mother invited all the family members to attend the most awaited battle of the Lowe sisters which Coco also showed an interest in.

"A lot of people are coming. That’s why Coco is interested in coming - to be with all the family we share. We’ve been talking about it for so long. My mom has been planning this for everybody. It’s been a while since I’ve had a large group of people coming to my game. In high school, when me and my sister played, everybody would come. Now in college, it’s different."

Before the game, Coco Gauff lauded the sisters, saying:

"I’m so proud of Cassidy and Courtney for how hard they work. It’s inspiring to see them shine in their sport and I love supporting them. No matter who wins on Monday, we are all family.’’

Coco and Codey played basketball with the Lowe sisters when they were kids. On the other hand, Cassidy stated that she never felt inclined to tennis.
