Coco Gauff, the World No. 2 and American flag bearer, was eliminated from the women's singles tennis event at the Paris 2024 Olympics after losing to Croatia's Donna Vekic in the third round. The match ended with scores of 7-6 (7), 6-2 in favor of Vekic. The match was marred by controversy, as Gauff disputed a call made by the umpire, which she believed was unfair. The crowd was booing, although replays suggested the umpire's ruling was correct. Despite the setback, Gauff still has opportunities to compete for medals in women's doubles with Jessica Pegula and mixed doubles with Taylor Fritz.
