Coco Gauff secured her first French Open women’s singles title on June 7th, marking a significant milestone in her career. The 21-year-old American tennis player produced an impressive performance to defeat World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka in a captivating final held on Court Philippe-Chatrier. Gauff won the match with scores of 6-7 (5), 6-2, 6-4, demonstrating exceptional skill and resilience.
This win is a defining moment for Gauff. In 2022, at the age of 18, she reached the French Open final, losing to Iga Swiatek. This time, Gauff took her chance and secured a victory. This win is Gauff’s second Grand Slam title; her first was at the 2023 US Open, where she also defeated Sabalenka. The French Open final was a rematch of the US Open final. Gauff also avenged her previous defeat by Sabalenka in the Madrid Open final this year. Gauff now leads their head-to-head matches 6-5. This French Open win is especially meaningful because it is her first title on clay this season, following losses in the Rome Open and Madrid Open finals. This French Open title is a major achievement for Coco Gauff, highlighting her position as a leading player in women’s tennis.
