The match was a rematch of the Madrid final five weeks earlier, where Sabalenka had previously defeated Gauff. Gauff’s resilience and determination were evident as she bounced back from a tight first set to secure the win. Notably, this is the first French Open final between the world No. 1 and No. 2 players since 2013. (en.wikipedia.org)

Coco Gauff, the 21-year-old American tennis sensation, has triumphed over Aryna Sabalenka in the French Open women’s singles final, marking the second Grand Slam title in her promising career.
Saturday’s match saw Sabalenka and Gauff, ranked No. 1 and No. 2 respectively, face off—this was the first Grand Slam women’s final since 2018 featuring the world’s leading two players. Gauff’s victory makes her the first American champion at the French Open since Serena Williams in 2015.
The match unfolded over three sets. After Sabalenka clinched the first set 7-6, Gauff roared back to take the second set decisively, 6-2, ultimately securing the final set 6-4. Gauff collapsed to the red clay of Roland-Garros, arms raised high in celebration after Sabalenka’s final volley went wide.
“I don’t think either of us played particularly well,” Gauff remarked in a post-match interview with TNT. “But when I felt the wind as I stepped onto the court, I knew it would be one of those challenging matches. I focused on giving myself the best opportunity and battling for every point.”
Gauff reached the final by defeating fellow American Madison Keys, ranked No. 7, in the quarterfinals, then easily overcoming the crowd favorite Lois Boisson, a French player ranked just No. 361 who had a remarkable Cinderella run. On the opposing side, Sabalenka, who became the world’s No. 1 last year after her wins at the Australian and U.S. Opens, had previously overcome the Polish star Iga Swiatek, the three-time defending champion.
Gauff made her mark on the tennis scene as a teenager, capturing a juniors title at Roland-Garros in 2018, her first junior Grand Slam victory.
So far this year, American players have clinched both women’s Grand Slam titles, with Gauff’s victory following Keys’ win at the Australian Open in January.
The French Open men’s final, featuring No. 1 Jannik Sinner against No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz, is scheduled for Sunday.
