Paris: Coco Gauff caused a brief and amusing delay at the French Open on Tuesday when she stepped onto Court Philippe-Chatrier without her rackets.
“They were supposed to be in my bag,” the American told the chair umpire.
Gauff , set to play her first-round match against Austria’s Olivia Gadecki, looked momentarily confused before a ball boy ran out carrying a pack of mint-colored rackets just a few minutes later.
“That’s better,” said the court announcer, drawing laughter, applause and smiles from the crowd in the tournament’s main stadium.
Gauff, the No. 2 seed, has reached the final in Paris before and is among the top contenders again.
