The World No: French Open women's singles champion Coco Gauff returned to the country after her biggest triumph of the year did not go as she had planned as she went down to China's Wang Xinyu in the Berlin Open on Thursday. The World No. 2 was upset in the second round of the Berlin Tennis Open by the Chinese player, 6-3, 6-3 in her first match since winning the French Open on June 7.

Playing against the two-time Grand Slam winner, Wang, ranked World No. 49, picked up her third career Top 10 win in 1 hour and 15 minutes. She beat Jessica Pegula twice in 2024, including at Wimbledon on her way to the fourth round. Wang's grass-court prowess has continued in Germany.

In addition to beating Gauff, she has also picked up scalps against Daria Kasatkina and 2022 Berlin champion Ons Jabeur in four wins so far, having come through qualifying at the WTA 500 event.
