Coco Gauff Wins 2025 French Open Defeating Aryna Sabalenka

Coco Gauff won her second Grand Slam title by defeating top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka in the 2025 French Open final, with a score of 6-7(5), 6-2, 6-4. Gauff, 21, had previously beaten Sabalenka in the 2023 US Open final, marking a rematch of that championship match. Despite entering the match as an underdog, Gauff showcased resilience, coming back after losing the first set and dominating the second set to eventually secure the victory. The win makes Gauff the first American woman to win at Roland Garros since Serena Williams in 2015 and adds a significant prize of $2.9 million to her earnings, bringing her career prize money close to $30 million. Gauff credited her improved confidence and experience from previous Grand Slam finals for her success, emphasizing her calm and composed mindset entering the match. Sabalenka, though the world No. 1 with a commanding lead in ranking points, was unable to maintain her early momentum, with Gauff's superior serving and fewer unforced errors proving decisive.
