The great medal hope for the United States is already gone. American Coco Gauff lost in the round of 16 of the women’s tournament, despite three set points in the first round. The 20-year-old, who is hoping for a title on Roland-Garros soil, started the match perfectly by breaking her opponent, Croatian world number 13 Donna Vekic, early. But Gauff’s machine then stopped, going from 5-2 to 5-5 after winning the first set point. Seed No.
Coco Gauff started the second set well by taking the serve of her opponent, breaking immediately (2-2). Vekic then took off, winning the next four games. At 4-2, after a shot placed on the edge of first base was declared a foul by the umpire before it was finally approved by the umpire, the American burst into tears. A fatal season for the United States, who ended up losing with a score of 6-2.
A tennis star in the United States from a young age, Coco Gauff was named the representative of the United States in the Olympics. She will also have two chances to win a medal, in the women’s doubles with Jessica Pegula and in the doubles with Taylor Fritz.
