Coco Gauff triumphed at the French Open, defeating top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka 6-7 (5), 6-2, 6-4, in a gripping final that showcased both players' skills. This victory marks Gauff's second major title, having previously won the 2023 U.S. Open against Sabalenka, where she also rallied from a set down. The match bore high stakes, being only the second top-ranked women's final in Paris in the last three decades. After a tense contest lasting 2 hours, 38 minutes, Gauff celebrated her win, reflecting on her growth since her last final at Roland-Garros three years prior.
After greeting Sabalenka at the net, she hugged film director Spike Lee and celebrated with her entourage, three years after she lost in her first final at Roland-Garros.
Gauff responded by raising her level, winning a superb rally in the third game that drew loud cheers and applause from the crowd.
