Roland Garros, Paris

—
Coco Gauff looked to be cruising against Donna Vekić in her third-round singles match at the Paris Olympics. Then, all of a sudden, she wasn’t.
Having been a point away from taking the first set at Roland Garros, Gauff had to watch the contest slip away from her, eventually succumbing to a 7-6(7) 6-2 upset defeat on Court Philippe-Chatrier.
The most fraught moment of the match came midway through the second set when Gauff was reduced to tears during a heated exchange with chair umpire Jaume Campistol.
