Coco Gauff Makes Request After French Open

Coco Gauff just wants one thing in her return to American soil following her incredible run in Paris for the French Open.

Gauff beat World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka in the French Open final, although it wasn't easy as she needed all three sets to take the 6-7(5), 6-2, 6-4 victory.

Sabalenka's uncharacteristic performance — highlighted by her 70 unforced errors — allowed Gauff to come back after losing the first set. The 21-year-old's defense and lob shots were also phenomenal, further throwing the Belarusian star off her game.

With the win, Gauff secured her first French Open title after finishing as a runner-up in 2022. It's also her second Grand Slam trophy, having won the US Open in 2023.

On Sunday, the World No. 2 revealed through her Instagram Stories that she is back in the U.S. and has landed in New York. Interestingly, what stood out from her update was the food request she made.

Clearly, Gauff missed eating chicken wings.

"back in the usa, someone get me some chicken wings," Gauff wrote.

Sure enough, Coco Gauff deserves to eat any food that she wants following her French Open win. After all, she made history in the process.

Gauff is just the fifth American woman to win multiple singles Grand Slam titles in the Open era at age 21 or younger, joining Serena Williams, Chris Evert, Venus Williams and Tracy Austin.

Furthermore, she's the first American woman to claim the French Open title since Serena Williams did so in 2015.
