Coco Gauff shared a hilarious TikTok where she joked that winners of a sporting event shouldn't be allowed to step out and party. Gauff clinched her second Grand Slam title at the 2025 French Open, defeating World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka in a thrilling three-setter.
Gauff was in top form coming into the French Open, after losing the title to Jasmine Paolini in the Italian Open final. The 21-year-old lost to the latter in straight sets 4-6, 2-6.
In the Roland Garros semifinals, Gauff outclassed French player Lois Boisson, who made her Grand Slam debut in Paris. The former faced Sabalenka in the final, and despite a wobbly start, she picked up pace and defeated the Belarusian in two sets.

As per ritual, Gauff was handed a celebratory champagne with the Slam trophy. Like most winners do, the 21-year-old went out after her win and jokingly noted that players shoudn't be allowed to step out after big triumphs.
"Going out after winning a sporting event should be illegal. You're emotional, dehydrated, starving, and then they put champagne in my hand... of course I'm going out bad. I had fun tho, we up"
In a previous Instagram story, Coco Gauff shared a video of herself letting loose as she danced to the beats of Lost by Frank Ocean in a red-lit room.
"For everyone asking how I celebrated, the room was spinning, Frank was playing, vibes were great," her caption read.
The two-time Grand Slam champion was also contended for the Roland Garros title in the 2022 edition.
Coco Gauff spoke about representing the US at global level after French Open win
After her win over Aryna Sabalenka in the French Open final Coco Gauff expressed her pride in representing her people on a global level. She shared her thoughts on representing the USA after clinching her triumph at Roland Garros.
"Obviously there’s a lot going on in our country right now with things … like, everything, yeah. I’m sure you guys know. But just to be able to be a representation of that and a representation of, I guess, people that look like me in America who maybe don’t feel as supported during this time period … just being that reflection of hope and light for those people," said the 21-year-old (via post-match conference).
Coco Gauff was the 2023 US Open champion and also became the youngest American female player to be the flag-bearer in the closing ceremony of the Paris Olympics.
