Sha'Carri Richardson has reacted to Coco Gauff's French Open victory over Aryna Sabalenka. Gauff defeated Sabalenka 6-7 (5), 6-2, 6-4 to win the 2025 French Open title on Saturday, June 8.
The American tennis star showed incredible resilience by recovering from losing the first set. Gauff also became the first American tennis player to win the French Open since Serena Williams' triumph at the 2015 edition.
Coco Gauff received praise from multiple athletes, including Sha'Carri Richardson. The sprinter shared an announcement post by ESPN on her Instagram story and wrote:
"@cocogauff amazing," and added a teary-eye and heart-eye emoji.
Sha'Carri Richardson will join her teammates Gabby Thomas and Tara Davis-Woodhall at the Athlos track and field league in 2026. The women-only event made its debut last year in New York City, with 35 female athletes vying for the largest prize purse ever for a women-only event.
