When and where to watch?
French Open 2025 women's singles final between Aryna Sabalenka and Coco Gauff is set to begin at 6:30PM IST on Saturday, June 7. You can watch the live telecast of the French Open on the Sony Sports Network and stream the matches live on SonyLiv, FanCode and JioTV.
Preview
Long considered a hardcourt specialist, the 27-year-old top seed Sabalenka, the most powerful player on the tour, will try to establish herself as an all-rounder with her first title in Paris.
She has already won back-to-back titles at the Australian Open in 2023-24 as well as the US Open crown in 2024 but she had never before reached the final in Paris with the slower clay not naturally suited to her heavy-hitting game.
A finalist here in 2022, Gauff is also looking for her first singles crown in Paris. She won the women's doubles last year but will be looking to add the Suzanne Lenglen cup to her Grand Slam collection that so far has one major, the 2023 US Open where she beat Sabalenka in the final.

French Open Men's final 2025: Carlos Alcaraz vs Jannik Sinner — when and where to watch on TV and streaming
A thrilling chapter in the new era of men's tennis is set to unfold on Sunday as Carlos Alcaraz vs Jannik Sinner headlines the French Open 2025 men's singles final. With both players chasing history, the clash promises to be a compelling spectacle for tennis enthusiasts across the globe. French Open Schedule and Viewing Information The French Open schedule for June 8 begins at 10 a.m. BST with the women's doubles final, featuring Sara Errani and Jasmine Paolini against Anna Danilina and Aleksandra Krunic. The marquee event—the men's singles final between World No. 1 Jannik Sinner and No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz—is set for 2 p.m. BST, 9 a.m (3 p.m. local time), as mentioned in a report by NBC. For viewers in the United States, the Alcaraz vs Sinner final will be broadcast live at 9 a.m. ET on TNT and truTV, with streaming available via Max. Sinner and Alcaraz: Leaders of the Post-Big Three Generation The Jannik Sinner vs Carlos Alcaraz final marks the first Grand Slam championship meeting between these two young stars. With four-time Slam winner Alcaraz and three-time major champion Sinner having split the last five Grand Slam titles between them, their rivalry is quickly becoming central to the sport's future. Amid the retirements of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, and the waning dominance of 24-time Slam winner Novak Djokovic, Alcaraz and Sinner have emerged as the new faces of the game. The winner on Sunday will be the 20th consecutive Slam champion with prior Grand Slam experience—underscoring the dominance of proven players in Paris since Nadal's 2005 debut. Live Events Road to the Final: Alcaraz and Sinner Impress In the semi-finals, Jannik Sinner halted Djokovic's pursuit of a record 25th Slam title with a straight-sets victory, 6-4, 7-5, 7-6(3), marking his fourth straight win over the Serbian icon. Sinner is yet to drop a set at this year's tournament and has now compiled a 20-match win streak in majors. Carlos Alcaraz advanced after opponent, Lorenzo Musetti retired in the semi-final, trailing 4-6, 7-6(3), 6-0, 2-0. The Spaniard, who defeated Sinner last month in the Italian Open final, holds an 8-4 career advantage in their head-to-head meetings. Stakes and Records on the Line Should Alcaraz triumph, he will become the youngest man since Nadal in 2008 to claim five Grand Slam titles. A victory for Sinner would mark his third straight major win and position him to become the youngest male in the Open Era to complete the career Grand Slam if he wins Wimbledon next month. Their showdown at Roland Garros could be the first of many French Open finals between the two, as both continue to shape the next great era in men's tennis. Gauff vs Sabalenka: Women's Final Also Set In the women's singles final, World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka takes on second seed Coco Gauff. It is the first time since 2018 that the top two-ranked players meet in a women's Slam final. Their last meeting in a major ended in a dramatic win for Coco Gauff at the 2023 US Open, where she overcame Sabalenka in three sets. What They Said Ahead of the final, Sinner reflected on his rivalry with Alcaraz: 'It's fun and not fun—it pushes us to be our best. Facing Carlos in a Grand Slam final is special. The stage doesn't get any bigger.' As the world tunes in, the French Open 2025 promises a high-stakes clash that could define the next decade of men's tennis. FAQs What time is the men's French Open final on TV? The men's French Open final is this Sunday, June 8, at 9 a.m. ET/6 a.m. PT. In the U.S., the men's final will air on TNT, truTV, and stream live on Max. How much does the winner of the French Open earn? French Open prize money is up by six per cent in 2025, with €2,550,000 (£2.13m) up for grabs for the men's and women's singles champions. Economic Times WhatsApp channel )

Why Aryna Sabalenka doesn't have Belarus flag next to her name at French Open
Aryna Sabalenka is currently facing Coco Gauff in the women's singles final at the French Open, held at Roland Garros in Paris, France. The Belarusian claimed the opening set 7-6 after a tightly contested battle lasting an hour and 20 minutes. However, what drew significant attention wasn't just her performance. It was the absence of the Belarusian flag next to her name. Instead, a plain blue rectangle appeared in its place. This marks the third consecutive year that players from Russia and Belarus have been prohibited from competing under their national flags at Grand Slam events, a policy that was implemented in response to the ongoing war in Ukraine. Belarus, a close ally of Putin-led Russia, remains subject to these sanctions.

Sabalenka wins first set against Gauff in French Open women's final
PARIS — Top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka won the first set 7-6 against No. 2 Coco Gauff in the French Open women's final on Saturday. The match has been full of tension and momentum swings so far, amplified by the windy conditions. Sabalenka came out strong on Court Philippe-Chatrier, finding her stride early and pushing Gauff onto the back foot with deep groundstrokes and assertive net play. Sabalenka quickly built a 4-1 lead but a string of errors and double-faults allowed Gauff to get back into the match. Sabalenka managed to break again for a 5-4 lead yet her game continued to fluctuate between unforced errors and flashes of brilliance. Gauff stayed patient and composed, breaking back to level the score once more. They traded breaks again and the set, which lasted around 80 minutes, was decided by a tiebreaker. Sabalenka trailed 3-0 but recovered from the poor start to close out the set at the net. Despite a chance of rain later Saturday afternoon, organizers opted to keep the retractable roof open. Both women are aiming to win the title for the first time. Gauff lost the 2022 French Open final at age 18 but the American beat Sabalenka in the 2023 U.S. Open final, Gauff's only major so far. The 27-year-old Sabalenka, who is from Belarus, has won three majors but is appearing in her first French Open final. It is the first No. 1 vs. No. 2 final in Paris since 2013, when Serena Williams defeated Maria Sharapova, and just the second in the last 30 years. Sabalenka and Gauff have split their 10 previous matchups evenly, but Sabalenka won their most recent encounter, also on a clay court at the Madrid Open a month ago. ___ tennis: /hub/tennis
