Coco Gauff is savoring the taste of victory after a headline-making experience at the French Open. The tennis player won her first major doubles title on Sunday, June 9, by teaming up with Katerina Siniakova. They defeated Italians Jasmine Paolini and Sara Errani, giving Gauff her second major after winning the U.S. Open singles last year. “I think it’s just one of those things that when you least expect it to happen, it happens,” Gauff, 20, told reporters after the win, via the Associated Press. “After I lost the first two (doubles) finals, I thought, ‘Well, OK, I reached that point. Maybe I should focus on singles.’ Same thing, US Open. When I won it, I didn’t expect to win. I was having a really bad year. Then here, I didn’t even expect to play. I think it’s funny how life teaches you those lessons.” Gauff’s journey to the top prize at the annual tournament wasn’t a seamless journey. During her semifinal match on Thursday, June 6, Gauff got into a heated dispute with chair umpire Aurélie Tourtewhen she overruled a call that benefitted competitor Iga Świątek.
