Gauff took down Aryna Sabalenka in three sets to claim her first Roland-Garros title, with the match lasting two hours and 38 minutes. The World No. 1 Sabalenka won the first set and looked to be in control, but her uncharacteristic mistakes soon affected her.
Sabalenka committed 70 unforced errors and six double faults, while Gauff was steady despite the rough conditions brought by the gusting wind. The American youngster's defense eventually allowed her to survive the Belarusian top seed and claim the 6-7(5), 6-2, 6-4 victory.

While Gauff has since returned to the U.S., the win and the moments that followed still bring her a lot of emotions.

On her Instagram Stories, Gauff couldn't help but get teary-eyed over the clip, writing "my parents" along with a smiling face with tears emoji.

With the grass season coming up next, it will definitely be interesting to see if Gauff can win another Grand Slam at Wimbledon.

Messi ruled out of Miami's Leagues Cup quarter-final v Tigres
Lionel Messi was ruled out of Inter Miami's Leagues Cup quarter-final against Tigres UANL on Wednesday, a day after coach Javier Mascherano revealed the Argentine superstar was still struggling with injury. Messi, who has battled a "minor" muscle injury since a Leagues Cup group match against Necaxa on August 2, had returned to Miami's lineup Saturday after a two-week absence, scoring a goal after coming on as a substitute in a 3-1 win over the Los Angeles Galaxy. However the 38-year-old World Cup winner looked to be in physical discomfort during his second-half appearance, and he was not in the lineup announced before the clash in the cross-border club competition for teams from Major League Soccer and Mexico's Liga-MX. Messi's absence is a blow to Miami's hopes of regaining the Leagues Cup title they won in 2023 during the Argentine icon's fairytale first season in Major League Soccer. Mascherano predicted a stiff test against Tigres, the eight-time Mexican champions, describing them as "a team with a lot of offensive power." Miami's game with Tigres was one of four Leagues Cup quarter-finals set for Wednesday. Mexico's Toluca face Orlando City before Los Angeles Galaxy host Pachuca, while the Seattle Sounders take on Puebla at home. bb/mlm
