Coco Gauff Not Discouraged a Bit by Back-to-Back Final Losses Ahead of French Open

Coco Gauff might be racking up runner-up trophies lately, but don’t let that fool you—this teenager’s confidence is anything but shaken. In fact, she’s charging into Roland Garros with her trademark fire, fearless attitude, and the unmistakable vibe of someone who knows she’s on the brink of something big.

After falling short in two consecutive finals, many players might question their form or start second-guessing their game. But not Gauff. The 20-year-old phenom is brushing off the losses like clay off her sneakers, treating each setback as fuel rather than failure. “It’s all part of the process,” she said with the kind of calm that screams: Just wait until Paris.

And she’s not wrong. Finals are finals—making them is no small feat, especially on a tour bursting with power hitters and battle-hardened veterans. Gauff is proving she belongs in those elite showdowns, and with each one, she’s getting sharper, smarter, and hungrier.

Now, with the French Open looming, she’s poised to turn those almosts into absolutes. Her movement on clay, her topspin-heavy forehand, and her ever-improving serve are tailor-made for Roland Garros.

Losses? Sure. But discouragement? Not even close. Coco’s not here to wallow—she’s here to win. And if her recent form is any clue, the Parisian clay might be exactly where she flips the script.

Watch out, world. Gauff’s not backing down—she’s just warming up.
