Coco Gauff may play far beyond her years on the court, but when it comes to squabbles with her dad, she's not too far off from any other 15 year old.

After winning her first set against Laura Siegemund at the ATP Auckland Open better known as the ASB Classic on Thursday, Gauff conferred with her father and coach, Corey, about how to close out the second-round match and advance to the quarterfinals.

The elder Gauff crouched in front of his daughter and launched into a full-blown pep talk while he was mic'd up. In the midst of calling Coco a "champion" and complimenting her serve, Gauff used some language that caught the 15 year old's attention.

"The one thing you did the last three games, you didn't give out no free points on her damn serve," Corey said.

Coco finished taking a swig from her water bottle before correcting him.

"You can't curse," she smiled.

"I cursed? Sorry about that," he jokingly followed up into his microphone.

He took a beat and laughed before asking his daughter if he "cursed for real."

"Well, you said the D-word," she replied.

"Oh, well that don't really count," he quipped.

"In some places it does," she insisted.

The endearing exchange picked up some attention on social media, and even tennis fellow young tennis star Naomi Osaka got in on praising the father-daughter duo.

Despite powering through some inconsistent play to win the opening set 7-5, Gauff faltered in the second set and dropped the third 3-6 to exit from the singles tournament in Auckland. She'll continue playing in the doubles competition there before moving on to play her first major of the year at next week's Australian Open.
