Coco Gauff Wins 2025 French Open, First Major Title at Age 21

Coco Gauff's recent victory at the 2025 French Open, where she overcame World No.1 Aryna Sabalenka in a dramatic three-set match, has solidified her place among tennis elites and fulfilled a childhood ambition to become one of the greatest in the sport. Her exceptional court movement and mental resilience were key to her win, with even Sabalenka acknowledging Gauff's ability to capitalize on her errors and handle pressure better during the final (Article 1, 5). Gauff's reaction to her win, marked by emotional celebration and humility, has further endeared her to fans and prompted some tennis insiders to call her 'underrated' despite her achievements (Article 5). Off the court, Gauff surprised fans by revealing on TikTok that French Open champions receive only a small replica of the main trophy, sparking widespread amusement and discussion among tennis enthusiasts (Article 3, 4). Looking ahead, Gauff is determined to conquer her Wimbledon struggles and plans to stay grounded by 'forgetting' her Roland Garros win to maintain hunger for future success (Article 2). Her blend of athletic prowess, humility, and charisma continues to make her a standout figure in the world of tennis.
