Against Valentova, an 18-year-old who won the junior title at the French Open last year and was competing in the main draw at a major tournament for the first time, Gauff got broken five times. Four of those came in the second set — and each time, the 21-year-old Floridian managed to immediately rebound to claim Valentova’s very next service game.

Coco Gauff eventually breezed through the first round of the French Open on Tuesday, but the match was almost over before it even began because the American superstar forgot one vital thing: her rackets.

Despite a mix-up with her rackets, No. 2-seeded Coco Gauff went on to defeat Australia's Olivia Gadecki 6-2, 6-2 in her opening match at the French Open.
