American tennis star Coco Gauff lost in her first Grand Slam final appearance on Saturday, 6–1, 6–3, to Iga Świątek in the French Open.
Even though making it to the match as an 18-year-old is an incredible feat, Gauff was visibly upset after the singles final but still proud of herself and her accomplishment. She admitted to NBC’s Maria Taylor in her postgame interview that she made all the right moves, in her opinion, but Świątek was just on fire. The World No. 1 has now won 35 matches in a row.
“these [sic] past two weeks have been filled with so many emotions and i am so grateful for this moment,” Gauff tweeted. “thank you to everyone for all of the support. grand slam finalist…. i’ll bounce back.
