When Coco Gauff, fresh from her French Open quarter-final victory, was asked about her new attitude to tennis, her answer enraptured the Philippe-Chatrier crowd.
"Enjoy life. No matter how good or bad my career is, I think I'm a great person," she said.
"That's a message for all the young players out there that your results, your job or how much money you make doesn't define you as a person.
"As long as you love yourself, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks."
It is this attitude that has taken Gauff, who memorably reached the fourth round at Wimbledon as a 15-year-old in 2019, to her first Grand Slam semi-final.
