Coco Gauff celebrated with surprising figure after winning French Open

Gauff was able to rally from a first set defeat to win her first French Open, beating Sabalenka 6-7 (5), 6-2, 6-4. The very first person in the stands to congratulate her was Lee in the front row, who gave her a big hug.

Lee is known for his appearances at New York sporting events, particularly Knicks and Yankees game. He seems to have bounced back very quickly from the Knicks’ loss in the Eastern Conference Finals.

As for Gauff, this is her second major title and her first at Roland Garros. She is clearly developing a very devoted fanbase that includes some famous faces. One has to wonder whether the motivational tactics that helped her to her first major played a role here again.
