Coco Gauff’s Behavior After Winning French Open Final is Turning Heads originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
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.
