Coco Gauff's French Open title defense ends while Naomi Osaka's fashion show continues in Paris
- On Saturday, defending champion Coco Gauff lost to No. 28 Anastasia Potapova in the third round at Roland-Garros, ending her title defense in a match played before mostly empty stands at Court Philippe-Chatrier.
- Potapova controlled longer rallies and wore Gauff out, overcoming a first-set deficit to secure the victory. The 25-year-old improved her career record against the American to 3-2 while Gauff hit 46 unforced errors.
- "She was able to finish the points and I wasn't," Gauff said. Statistics show Gauff ran 2,309 meters to Potapova's 2,090 during the intense three-set battle on clay.
- This defeat forces Gauff out of the top rankings as she fails to defend points secured from last year's title run. Potapova advances to face Anna Kalinskaya in the next round.
- The draw appears to open for Aryna Sabalenka, who remains a contender for the title following the departure of the defending champion. The 22-year-old Gauff shifts her focus toward Wimbledon.
