In a historic match, Coco Gauff clinched her first French Open women’s singles title. The American tennis star, aged 21, triumphed over Aryna Sabalenka, the World No. 1, in a captivating final held on Court Philippe-Chatrier. Gauff’s victory, achieved with scores of 6-7 (5), 6-2, and 6-4, highlighted her impressive comeback and determination.
This win marks a significant achievement for Gauff, especially considering her past experience at the French Open. After losing in the 2022 final to Iga Swiatek, Gauff successfully capitalized on her opportunity this year. The French Open title is her second Grand Slam win, following her US Open victory in 2023, where she also defeated Sabalenka.
Adding to the significance, this win allowed Gauff to avenge her earlier loss to Sabalenka in the Madrid Open final. This victory gives Gauff a 6-5 lead in their head-to-head matches. This victory also marks Gauff’s first clay court title of the year, having previously finished as runner-up in both Rome and Madrid, making this win even more special.
