Coco Gauff's Behavior After Winning French Open Final is Turning Heads
After beating Aryna Sabalenka for the women's singles French Open title on Saturday, Coco Gauff was naturally in a celebratory mood. And she made sure to spend it with the most important people in her life.

Gauff needed all three sets to defeat Sabalenka, who reigned supreme over her the last time they met on a clay court — during the Madrid Open final earlier in May.
At the French Open final, however, the American star didn't let her Belarusian rival get her way. While Sabalenka won the first set, Gauff quickly recovered and made life hard for her opponent in the next two sets to win 6(5)-7, 6-2, 6-4.
Sabalenka finished with 70 unforced errors, struggling to break through Gauff's defense and counter her lob shots.
Following the match, Gauff was seen going to her parents, Candi and Corey, who were seated on the bleachers at Court Philippe Chatrier. The 21-year-old hugged her parents, with her dad seen jumping in joy.

Gauff proceeded to meet her team and hug them as well to express her appreciation.
Fans absolutely loved the moment and shared their reactions in the comments section of Roland-Garros' video of the celebration on Instagram.
"Teamwork makes the dream work — huge shoutout to the whole crew!" a commenter wrote. Another one said, "As they should, Congratulations to Coco Gauff, her team and family."
"I love Coco's family," a fan added.
"So polite and humble," a supporter remarked.
A fifth follower shared, "Give coco her flowers!! So kind, humble, respectful and just hard working girl well raised and pure class!!! Won't be surprised if you win it again and again 2026 onwards."

"COCOOOOOOOOO DO YOUR THANG MAMAS!! CONGRATS FAMILY," a hyped social media user added.

Gauff and her family certainly have every reason to be happy. It is now the World No. 2's second Grand Slam title after winning the US Open in 2023. It was also some sort of redemption for Gauff, who lost in the French Open final in 2022.

They add together the amortization cost of the Frenchman's transfer fee and the player's reported gross wages. Inter Milan have been working to sign a midfielder in the final couple weeks of the transfer window. The Nerazzurri had made an offer for Roma's Manu Kone last week. Meanwhile, they have also targeted other midfielders such as Morten Frendrup and Mandela Keita. However, in a whirlwind pursuit Inter have wrapped up a deal for Lens midfielder Andy Diouf.

Alcaraz and Djokovic could get early U.S. Open tests. Venus draws No. 11 seed Muchova
NEW YORK — Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic will face potential difficult American opponents when they begin their quest for another U.S. Open title. Venus Williams, meanwhile, returns to the event at age 45 against No. 11 seed Karolina Muchova, a past French Open finalist who has reached the semifinals in New York the past two years. That was one of the early highlight matches after the draws were conducted for the men's and women's singles tournaments. A pair of recent U.S. Open champions could be tested early. Alcaraz, the No. 2 seed, starts against Reilly Opelka. Opelka, a former top-20 player before injuries, is 6-foot-11 with a powerful serve that he rode to the fourth round in New York in 2021. Alcaraz won his lone U.S. Open title the following year and has gone on to add four more Grand Slam titles. Djokovic owns a men's record 24 of them, including four at the U.S. Open. Seeded seventh, he will face Learner Tien, a 19-year-old left-hander who upset Daniil Medvedev en route to the fourth round of this year's Australian Open. Now playing infrequently outside of the majors at 38 and having fallen to No. 7 in the rankings, Djokovic could have to beat 2024 U.S. Open runner-up Taylor Fritz, the No. 4 seed, in the quarterfinals, then Alcaraz in the semifinals and No. 1 Jannik Sinner, the defending champion, in the final. Williams was given a wild card by the U.S. Tennis Association into a tournament where she won two of her seven Grand Slam singles titles, and will be the oldest player to compete in singles at Flushing Meadows since 1981. But she faces someone who has shown the ability to raise her game in the biggest tournaments. Muchova, after falling in the 2023 French Open final, got to the semis in New York later that summer and again last year. No. 3 seed Coco Gauff, who won her first major title in the 2023 U.S. Open, will first face Ajla Tomljanovic, the Australian who beat Williams' younger sister, Serena, in her final match in 2022. The potential quarterfinals on the men's side are Sinner vs. No. 5 Jack Draper, and No. 3 Alexander Zverev vs. No. 8 Alex de Minaur in the top half of the bracket. The bottom half could be Alcaraz vs. No. 6 Ben Shelton, and Fritz vs. Djokovic. The women's quarters could be defending champion and No. 1 seed Aryna Sabalenka vs. No. 7 Jasmine Paolini, and No. 4 Jessica Pegula vs. No. 5 Mirra Andreeva on the top half. The other side could see No. 2 Iga Swiatek vs. No. 8 Amanda Anisimova in a rematch of Swiatek's romp in the Wimbledon final, and Gauff vs. No. 6 Madison Keys, the Australian Open champion.
