Coco Gauff provided a lighthearted moment at Roland Garros 2025 when she stepped onto Court Philippe-Chatrier for her first-round match against Olivia Gadecki, only to realize she had forgotten her rackets. The American star grinned as she showed her empty bag to her team, prompting a quick scramble to retrieve her equipment before play began.
Despite the unexpected delay, Gauff remained unfazed and cruised to a 6-2, 6-2 victory, showcasing her dominance on clay. After the match, she joked about the incident, saying, “I won’t forget my rackets next time,” and later posted a humorous checklist on social media with “put tennis rackets in bag” left unchecked.
Gauff credited the mishap with helping her relax before the match, explaining that it took some of the pressure off her opening-round nerves. With her first win secured, she now looks ahead to her second-round clash against Tereza Valentova, determined to continue her strong run in Paris.
