French Open 2025: How Olympian Gabby Thomas' video and a mirror inspired Coco Gauff to victory
Coco Gauff after winning the French Open final over Aryna Sabalenka (Images via X/@RolandGarros) The Times of India at Roland Garros : Coco Gauff scripted a gritty comeback win over the world No.1 Aryna Sabalenka in the French Open final. The American won hearts and applause as she neutralized challenging conditions with her athleticism and monk-like calm, but did the 21-year-old take a page off pop culture and actually manifest her win on Saturday evening? After the two-hour 38-minute final Gauff pulled out a sheet of paper, carrying the words, I will win French Open 2025. The handwritten sentence was repeated eight times on the sheet. The American was on TikTok on the eve of the final when an old interview of Gabrielle Thomas, the Olympic 200m champion, cropped up on her page. The American sprinter had written multiple times that she was going to get gold in the Paris Olympics. 'I was like, why is this video of her being interviewed from the Olympics coming up on my page (now)?' Gauff said, adding, 'Gabby says she wrote it either 50 or 500 times, I can't remember. She wrote, 'I will be the Olympic champion.' I was like, 'I have this hotel (pad) and I'm going to write it as many times as I can fit on the (page), and I'm done.'' Bombay Sport Exchange Ep. 6: Harish Thawani on cricket's TV market and the watershed moments 'After that I looked myself in the mirror and told myself that I had the belief. Then obviously it happened,' she said of her win. 'I didn't know if it was going to work or not, but it did. It's a great mindset that she (Gabrielle Thomas) had. I was on the mirror writing, trying to hurry up and write because I was ready to go to sleep. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Concentrated Siberian Ginseng Extract 2oz Superior Ginseng Undo But did I win because of that, I don't know, but I'm going to say, I did.' Gauff, who took charge of the final, where she faced Sabalenka, the heaviest ball striker in the game, displaying a maturity beyond her years. The American has practice, having done much the same thing with her career. Poll Do you think Coco Gauff outclassed Aryna Sabalenka in the final? Yes, the World No 1 was far from her best No, she got lucky A couple of years ago she asked her father Corey, who was managing and coaching her, to step back. She wanted the driver's seat. It's not a common thing in sport, where parents, who give up livelihoods for their children's careers, often refuse to let go when the athlete might benefit in a professional environment. '(When) I asked my dad to take a step back, it ended up being a great thing for both of us,' Gauff said, adding that she asked her mother Candi, a former athlete, to travel with her. 'I needed her to be on the road more, (travelling) with a team full of men, I needed some estrogen, some female energy here. Women just notice more things.' Arshdeep Singh: The Poet Who Bowls Thunder | Stories from His Father & Coach 'When you're younger you don't know how to distinguish your feelings, what you want to do and when's the right time to say it and things like that,' Gauff explained, 'As I got older, I felt I learned a lot about myself. I know myself now, maybe not 100 percent, but I know a little bit more about the things I like and don't like. That my parents support those decisions mean a lot.' Coco Gauff's affirmation that she wrote down ahead of the final vs Aryna Sabalenka (Image via X) The world No.2, who now has two Major titles from three finals, said her parents trust her. 'I'm a dynamite personality so they know if I really (say) something, I mean it,' she said of her decision to take charge of her tennis. 'I know myself and know what I need, maybe not in the moment, but after trial and error you start to learn things about yourself. I'm glad that I don't have pressure (from my) parents. They genuinely want to see me happy and obviously the on-court stuff is great, but their biggest goal for me in life is just to live a happy quality of life.

McIntosh impresses in 800m freestyle win at Canada trials
Summer McIntosh stormed to victory in the women's 800m freestyle at the Canadian Swimming Trials on Sunday, firing another warning shot to Katie Ledecky after narrowly missing out on breaking the American's world record. A day after obliterating the 400m freestyle world record, McIntosh touched in 8min 5.07sec in Sunday's 800m, putting her just outside US great Ledecky's world best of 8:04.12 set only last month. 'Going into tonight, I really wanted to see how close I could get to that world record,' the three-time Olympic gold medallist said after her win at the trials in Victoria, British Columbia. 'But overall, pretty happy with my race and my splits. I think I was a little bit in no man's land. So I'm happy excited for just moving forward and seeing how I can be pushed when I get some close quarter racing.' McIntosh won gold in the 200m butterfly, 200m medley and 400m medley at the Paris Olympics and has indicated she'll chase five titles at the World Championships in Singapore next month. On Saturday, she shattered the 400m free world record with a time of 3:54.18, slicing more than a second off the record set in 2023 by Australian Ariarne Titmus, who is taking the 2025 season off.

This is my starting point now and I just try to keep pushing forward.'

French Open: Paolini & Errani win women's doubles title
Paris, June 8 (UNI) Jasmine Paolini called partner Sara Errani a "legend" and an "inspiration" after they clinched the French Open women's doubles title on Sunday. Errani and Paolini beat Kazakh Anna Danilina and Serb Aleksandra Krunic 6-4 2-6 6-1 on Court Philippe Chatrier. The Italian duo won Olympic gold on the same court in Paris last summer and have now added a first Grand Slam title together to their growing collection. Paolini, 29, reached the women's singles and doubles finals at last year's French Open but lost in the fourth round of this year's singles, the BBC reported. "I want to thank Sara," Paolini said. "It has been her last tournament in singles here and I want to say thank you very much. You are an inspiration for me. "You are a great champion and a great person. You have made me a better player and it's great to share these special moments with you. You are a legend." Errani, 38, previously said this would be her last time playing singles at Roland Garros and she ultimately lost in the second round of qualifying. She had already completed the career Golden Slam in doubles - winning each of the four majors and Olympic gold - but now boasts six Grand Slam titles to her name, including two at the French Open. Errani also won the mixed doubles title alongside compatriot Andrea Vavassori on Thursday. "This is the best court in the world, I have the best memories here and it's so special for me," Errani said. "Sometimes you are not enjoying it 100% because you can't stop and feel it, but right now I'm feeling it. "I'm trying to realise what we are doing and it's so big. Winning a Grand Slam is such a big thing." Second seeds Errani and Paolini had not dropped a set en route to the final but were taken the distance by Danilina and Krunic. Errani and Paolini broke for a 4-2 lead in the first set but Danilina and Krunic hit straight back, restoring parity with a break of their own at the fifth attempt. The Italians wrapped up a 55-minute set with a break of serve in the 10th game, signalling another routine victory could be on the cards. But Danilina and Krunic came out fighting, earning two breaks to get on the board and force a decider. That momentum was quickly wrested away, though, when Krunic and Danilina were each broken on their first service games and their Italian rivals raced to the finish line. UNI BM GNK
