TENNIS Coco Gauff wants her French Open victory to give hope to “Americans that look like me”.

- 

Gauff beat world number one Aryna Sabalenka in a thrilling three-set final to secure her maiden Roland Garros title.

The 21-year-old, now a two-time grand slam champion, says she wants to bring “hope and light” to black Americans who feel under-represented.

“It means a lot and obviously there's a lot going on in our country right now,” she said.
