Coco Gauff turned heads courtside Tuesday night as the tennis star made a surprise appearance at the New York Liberty ’s home game against the Chicago Sky. The Liberty, still undefeated this WNBA season, had another reason to celebrate and they made it clear on Instagram, calling Gauff and team mascot Ellie the “LINK UP OF THE YEAR!!!”

On Saturday, Coco Gauff etched her name into tennis history as the winner of the 2025 French Open. The 21-year-old tennis phenom defeated Aryna Sabalenka in three sets to win her first title at Roland-Garros and her second Grand Slam.

In a contest filled with plenty of mistakes, it was Gauff who emerged to grab eight of the last nine games for a 6-7 (6), 6-4, 6-1 victory over Madison Keys and a third trip to the semifinals at Roland-Garros.

Coco Gauff overcame 10 double faults and first set loss to defeat Madison Keys 6-7, 6-4, 6-1, reaching her third French Open semifinal in Paris.

Coco Gauff became the first U.S. woman to win the French Open since Serena Williams in 2015.
