Coco Gauff Wins Second Grand Slam French Open, Beats World No. 1 Sabalenka

Coco Gauff has solidified her status as a leading figure in women's tennis with her recent victory at the 2025 French Open, defeating world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka in a three-set final. This win marks her second Grand Slam title, making her the first American to win the French Open since Serena Williams in 2015, and highlights her growth both on and off the court. Experts like Paul Annacone note that clay is Gauff's best surface, and her ability to adapt, including using her heavy rolling forehand strategically, has been key to her success. Beyond her athletic achievements, Gauff is recognized as the most marketable tennis player globally, praised for her charisma, character, and engagement with fans through social media. Her maturity has deepened since her first Grand Slam final in 2022, showing a more composed and broader perspective on competition. As she looks ahead to Wimbledon, Gauff's momentum and evolving mindset suggest continued success in her tennis career.
