Coco Gauff celebrates French Open triumph with ball kids in heartwarming moment - WATCH

Coco Gauff celebrated her maiden French Open title in a heartwarming way, sharing the joyous moment with the ball kids at Roland Garros on Saturday.

After her stunning victory, the American joined the ball kids onto the court in an impromptu celebration that lit up the stadium. Gauff made her way over to the young group, high-fiving every single ball kid before gathering for a group photo. It was a joyful moment that reflected her warmth and appreciation.



The ball kids were also given a special moment as they had the chance to lift the prestigious Suzanne-Lenglen Cup at Roland Garros. The gesture added a touching gesture to post-match celebrations, making the experience even more memorable for the young volunteers who played a key role throughout the tournament.

Gauff became the first American woman since 2015 after legendary Serena Williams to claim the elusive trophy. The young American staged impressive comeback after dropping the first set, ultimately claiming a thrilling 6-7, 6-2, 6-4 victory over World No. 1 and top seed Aryna Sabalenka of Belarusia.


The win marked her maiden triumph at Roland Garros and her second Grand Slam title overall, adding to her 2023 US Open success.

Overwhelmed with emotion, Gauff wept profusely before accepting her trophy and found it difficult to maintain composure whilst delivering her victory address.


She became tearful during an affectionate moment with her family members in the spectator area. After the initial celebrations subsided, the 21-year-old took a stroll around the court, displaying her latest championship trophy.

Gauff's triumph erased the disappointment of her defeat in the 2022 French Open final against Iga Swiatek. During that match, she had experienced intense nervousness before entering Court Philippe-Chatrier as an 18-year-old competitor.
