In fact, none of the sources mention an incident involving Coco Gauff and Karoline Leavitt [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]. The sources primarily discuss Karoline Leavitt's statements and actions at various events, including the US Open and a White House briefing [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]. There is no evidence to suggest that Coco Gauff and Karoline Leavitt interacted in the manner described in the original statement [1] [2] [3] [4] [5].
