Coco Gauff came from a set down to edge world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka 6 7(5), 6 2, 6 4 in today’s French Open final in Paris. After losing a tight first set on a tiebreak, Gauff turned the match with a commanding second set and secured victory with crucial breaks in the decider, all while keeping her unforced errors to 30 compared to Sabalenka’s 70. The match, played in blustery conditions, featured shifting momentum and intense rallies, with the 21 year old American holding firm to claim her first Roland Garros singles title and second Grand Slam overall.
The win earned Gauff a place in history as the first American woman to win the French Open since Serena Williams in 2015 and the youngest to do so since Serena’s inaugural triumph in 2002. It also marks a major milestone in her career, securing her second major title and affirming her status among the sport’s elite. Her victory sets a new benchmark for American tennis and adds a powerful layer to her rising legacy.
