One of the biggest surprises of the last 24 hours came when Coco Gauff was eliminated from the French Open after a dramatic loss to Anastasia Potapova.
Gauff entered the tournament as one of the major contenders and appeared in control for long stretches of the match. But momentum shifted dramatically as Potapova fought back to produce one of the biggest upsets of the women’s draw.
The result immediately reshapes the tournament.
Gauff’s exit removes one of the most recognizable names remaining in the field and opens opportunities for several other contenders who suddenly see a clearer path toward the latter stages of the tournament.
At a Grand Slam already filled with surprises, another major favorite is now gone.
