Gauff, Sabalenka Reach French Open Final Amid Criticism

Coco Gauff advanced to the 2025 French Open final after defeating Lois Boisson and will face Aryna Sabalenka, who ended Iga Swiatek's 26-match unbeaten streak at Roland Garros. Both Gauff and Sabalenka, joined by Ons Jabeur, have publicly criticized the French Open for not scheduling women's matches in prime-time slots, advocating for greater visibility and equal treatment. Iga Swiatek set records by becoming the fastest woman to reach 40 French Open main draw wins and matching Margaret Court's win percentage before her defeat. American tennis has seen growing celebrity support, notably from actor Matthew McConaughey, who has encouraged Gauff during the tournament. The debate over women's tennis visibility at Grand Slams remains a key topic among players and fans. The final is set to be a highly anticipated contest between Gauff and Sabalenka, both seeking their first French Open title.
