NEW YORK - When CoCo Vandeweghe says she's trying to become the best athlete in her family as well as a US Open champion, it's more impressive company than one might imagine.
There's her Olympic swimmer mother Tauna, the NBA trio of her uncle Kiki, grandpa Ernie and great-uncle Mel, plus ex-beach volleyball pro uncle Bruk and aunt Heather, captain of the US polo team.
"My grandfather always said he was the best athlete in the family, so we're all trying to live up to him," Vandeweghe said on Monday.
