Newly crowned French Open champion Coco Gauff was stunned on her return to action, losing to Chinese qualifier Wang Xinyu 6-3, 6-3 at the Berlin Open.

For Coco Gauff, today was a reminder that momentum rarely carries over — especially from clay to grass. It has been 12 days since Gauff won her second career Grand Slam title at the French Open. Gauff made her highly anticipated debut at Berlin in a custom Miu Miu x New Balance kit.

Coco Gauff suffered a surprise defeat in her first match since her French Open triumph as world No. 49 Wang Xinyu upset the No. 2 seed 6-3 6-3 to progress into the quarterfinal of the Berlin Open.
