Coco Gauff on winning the doubles title at the 2024 French Open - "When you least expect it to happen, it happens"

Coco Gauff lifted the doubles title at the 2024 French Open but according to her, the victory was unexpected. The American said in the press conference that after losing two Grand Slam finals, a doubles title was not in her sight.

"Yeah doubles, I definitely didn't think it would happen to me to be frank. I think that was like one of the few times in my life after I lost the first two finals I was like okay well you know I reached to that point maybe I should focus on singles," Gauff said.

Gauff said it was similar to when she won the 2023 US Open. The American said she was coming off a bad year but ended up lifting the US Open title.

"But yeah I think it's just one of those things that just, when you least expect it to happen it happens. Same thing in the US Open. When I won, I didn't expect to win. I was having a really bad year and then here I didn't even expect to play. So I think it's funny how life teaches you those lessons, that sometimes it's better just to be relaxed and good things will happen," she said.
