Bravo Coco!!
(these are not my pictures)
Bravo Coco!
Je suis trop fiere de toi! π«π· Ha! Ben oui! La p'tite Coco a gagne le Roland Garros!! Et comment?!
so proud to see her winning π the Roland Garros this year π what an achievement! She deserves it! Seeing her growing up and improving her skill through the years in tennis πΎ is absolutely amazing!
We know how difficult the Roland Garros is. Yes it is! Also as a Black woman it really moves me because it means so much to the little girl that I was to the adult woman that I am today who watched the French Open all my life. Seeing another Black woman to that level since Serena Williams winning this gramd slam is amazing! I grew up watching mainly White women tennis πΎ players that I admired still today but seeing a person looking like me means a lot tooπ Bravo Coco! π«π·π this victory will also inspire other young American girls who dream to play professional tennis. Everything is possible if you believe and if you work hard.
My sister was so happy when she called me from France on the phone. We were all watching that finals yesterday. We never miss the Roland Garros. No, you can't miss it! Not only it is the perfect time to be in Paris. The best time to be in France because yes, not only that it is Summertime but it was the Festival of Cannes, the Amfar. And, wait! do not forget the Tour de France 2025 will start in July.) I won't write an article about it because I did not go to France this year but you can still look my old post about the Tour de France when they went to the city where my family lives. We saw the runners the bicycles, I took videos and pictures of them. The Tour de France starts in a city to end in Paris always and we all know that. O! Dear, I am sitting here and dreaming about the South of France with its beautiful landscapes, the blue water, the nature, the cities, the wonderful people and the amazing French gastronomy. La boheme! Ok! enough! Back to our dear Coco!
Coco Gauff beat the current world number 1 tennis player, Aryna Salabenka on Saturday 6-7. 6-2, 6-4 quel exploit!! This is Coco' second grand slams.Coco became the first American to win the French Open women's title since Serena Williams in 2015. Way to go Coco!! She is only twenty-one and, she will be winning more trophies. The year when Serena Williams won the French Open was so emotional. I was on my feet through the all final match. Wow!! winning the French Open is a huge achievement in tennis! I remember when she did her come back at the Roland Garros after her pregnancy, she wore these NIKE amazing outfits made by Virgil Abloh. Serena Williams is one of the best tennis players we ever had!
Also the Roland Garros always reminds me of the time when Yannick Noah won in the early 80's. It was cra-zy!!!! Since then, no more French tennis players won it but we hope with time it will happen again. That was the best moment in sport this year. Thank you for reading and see you for the Wimbledon!
