Winning a Grand Slam is supposed to be the pinnacle of tennis-champagne moments, confetti showers, and, of course, a legendary trophy to show for it. But Coco Gauffis serving up a dose of reality, and it’s not as shiny as you’d expect.
After clinching a major win at Roland Garros, Gauff let fans in on a little secret that left many stunned: that beautiful, iconic trophy you see on TV, it doesn’t come home with her. Instead, Gauff shared-rather slyly-what she actually received, and let’s just say it was far from the grandeur one would expect from one of the sport’s most elite stages.
Roland Garros doesn’t send players home with the real deal
In a playful TikTok post that quickly picked up traction, Gauff couldn’t hide her disbelief as she revealed the small version of the trophy that’s handed to winners. It’s the kind of moment that makes fans laugh-but also raises eyebrows.
After all, Roland Garros is a tournament dripping in luxury and history, filled with celebrities in the stands and glitz at every turn. So why does the champion’s keepsake feel more like a souvenir than a symbol of triumph?
Fans think the mini trophy doesn’t match the major title
Gauff’s subtle jab was lighthearted but sharp. The contrast between the ceremonial trophy hoisted on center court and the petite replica tucked into her luggage felt almost comedic. And tennis fans online didn’t hold back, jumping into the conversation to say what everyone was thinking: Roland Garros could definitely step up their trophy game.
After a hard-fought win over Aryna Sabalenka to claim the women’s singles title, Gauff’s big moment came with both applause and amusement. While her performance was dominant, it’s the hilarious reveal of her “take-home” prize that kept the internet buzzing.
Some joked they’d seen bigger trophies at high school tournaments, while others defended Gauff’s reaction, calling it a much-needed peek behind the curtain of a polished sports spectacle.
