After acting as a historic flag bearer for Team USA, Coco Gauff’s Olympics have gone downhill with surprising losses on the court and one tearful breakdown
Gauff, 20, was chosen as one of the flag bearers for Team USA, becoming the first American tennis player in history to be given the honor.
In their first-ever meeting, Vekić won a competitive first set tiebreak before things really went off the rails. With tears streaming down her face, Gauff told the umpire, “It always happens here at the French Open to me. Every time.” After the controversial call, Gauff went on to lose the match to Vekić in straight sets, 7-6, 6-2.
However, Gauff did continue to advocate for a universal video review system in tennis, which she also did after her loss to Świątek.
