French Open: Coco Gauff reaches quarterfinals and jokes with Frances Tiafoe about forgetting rackets

Coco Gauff might have earned her fifth consecutive trip to the French Open quarterfinals with a straight-set victory Monday, but she still is catching flak because she forgot to bring her rackets to a match earlier in the tournament.
