Coco Gauff French Open Racket Mishap: A Tale of Giggles and Game Play 🎾
Oh là là , what a racket mishap it was at the French Open! Coco Gauff, our beloved tennis star, sparked a wave of laughter on Tuesday during the Roland-Garros 2025 when she stepped onto Court Philippe-Chatrier without her tennis rackets. Whoopsie-doodle!
Coco Gauff’s Quick Recovery
A puzzled Coco Gauff was soon rescued by a swift ball boy, racing faster than a serve to deliver her trusty tennis racket pack. “Ah, much better,” quipped the court announcer, causing giggles, claps, and smiles from the audience. Interestingly, despite this tennis racket mishap, the No. 2-seeded Gauff remained fierce, defeating Australia’s Olivia Gadecki with a solid 6-2, 6-2 score.
In a playful twist, Coco Gauff humorously blamed her coach for the incident, wagging her finger and giggling, “Honestly, my coach has always packed my rackets because he’s super-duper superstitious. So, uh, yeah, coach, this one’s on you!”
A Social Media Sensation
Besides that, Coco shared her antics online, posting a funny to-do list with “put tennis rackets in bag” left unchecked, captioning it with, “oops, forgot the last one.” Even Gadecki joined the fun, teasing about Coco’s empty-handed entrance, “Looking back, that was probably my best shot at winning!” she laughed. What a hoot!
Let’s not forget, Coco was a finalist at the 2025 Roland-Garros, and she’s twirling her way through the French Open women’s bracket again this year.
