Coco Gauff became tennis' new Queen of Clay after her victory at the French Open over the weekend, but was unable to take the Coupe Suzanne Lenglen trophy home with her
If Coco Gauff was feeling elated after her sensational French Open triumph, then the night out that followed didn't quite live up to expectations. So much so that she's complained night's out after major sporting events should be made ILLEGAL!
The American secured her second Grand Slam title on Saturday, staging a remarkable comeback against Aryna Sabalenka. The final was a rollercoaster, with Sabalenka initially seizing control, but Gauff rallied to dominate the second set 6-2 and clinched the match with a 6-4 win in the decider.
The victory was sweet for Gauff, who fell short against Iga Swiatek in the French Open final three years ago and comes nearly two years after her maiden Major win at the 2023 US Open.
In high spirits, Gauff took to TikTok to share her post-match celebrations, albeit with a tongue-in-cheek tone as she captioned her video: "Going out after winning a sporting event should be illegal."
She humorously lamented the post-victory condition, saying, "You're emotional, dehydrated, starving, and then they put champagne in my hand. Of course I'm going out bad.... I had fun tho we upppppppp."
Gauff journeyed back to the USA on Monday - but revealed that her endeavours in Paris weren't enough for her to take the Coupe Suzanne Lenglen trophy back home with her.
The 21-year-old displayed the 'mini replica' she had been given and explained how the real one "stays with the tournament."
"It's the memories that matter the most," she added.
Gauff has her sights set on accumulating more Grand Slam titles following her victory. After triumphing at Roland Garros, she reflected: "I think this win was harder than the first [title] because you don't want to get satisfied with just that one."
"I was going through a lot of things when I lost here three years ago. I'm just glad to be back here. I was going through a lot of dark thoughts."
