Add the French Open to Coco Gauff’s list of Grand Slam tournament­s where she has beaten seeded opponents. The 16-year-old American made her main-draw debut at Roland Garros a successful one by eliminatin­g No. 9 seed Johanna Konta 6-3, 6-3 at Court Suzanne Lenglen on Sunday. Konta was a semifinali­st a year ago in Paris, while Gauff lost in qualifying rounds. It was at the next major tournament, Wimbledon, where Gauff made her breakthrou­gh, becoming at 15 the youngest player ever to qualify at the All England Club.
