French Open 2024: Coco Gauff Turns Religious in a Grateful Message to Jesus Christ After Grabbing $640K Cheque.
Coco Gauff shines bright at Roland Garros! The local crowd present at Philippe-Chatrier couldn’t stay seated as she snatched the doubles title alongside her new partner Katerina Siniakova. While the young American was struggling with her form lately, she decided to regard the “Father” almighty after emerging victorious.
Coco Gauff’s singles run at Roland Garros met a disappointing end. While the four-time champion Iga Swiatek stood as a hurdle in her way, she couldn’t extend her journey this time. However, despite the singles defeat, the young American managed to compensate for the loss with a massive doubles victory.
The US Open champion had a long list of names to be credited for her first-ever grand slam doubles title. Along with her team and the people who backed her, she took the vote of thanks high above the sky, pressing on her faith in god. “My father Jesus Christ for just keeping me here and keeping me sane and bless me with the life that I have,” she said in her post-victory speech.
Out of all the things that Coco Gauff is famously known for, her firm belief in the Almighty is a popularly shared sentiment. For her social media followers, the tennis star consistently shares updates, showing her gratitude.
Back in 2023, the tennis star lifted the trophy in Washington and therefore came forward to thank god and her church family in the post-match interview. “I want to thank my Father, God for this. After losing 1st round Wimbledon it was a tough situation. A lot of prayer, a lot of support from my church family,” she said.
