Coco Gauff tames Aryna Sabalenka to capture first French Open title
Coco Gauff of the United States celebrates winning her Women's final match against Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus at the French Open Grand Slam tennis tournament at Roland Garros in Paris on Saturday. Photo by Christophe Petit Tesson/EPA-EFE June 7 (UPI) -- Returns detonated off Coco Gauff's racket and sprayed the red brick dust of Roland-Garros, unraveling Aryna Sabalenka en route to the American's second career Grand Slam crown Saturday in the French Open final. Gauff, who was broken twice through the first five games of the match and trailed 40-love in the sixth, deployed a variety of racket angles and shaped shots to dilute Sabalenka's power in the comeback victory. The second-ranked American totaled 30 unforced errors, compared to her Belarusian foe's 70 in the 6-7(5), 6-2, 6-4 win in Paris. "I didn't think honestly that I could do it, but I'm actually going to quote Tyler the Creator: 'If I ever told you I had a doubt inside me, I must be lying,'" Gauff said on the TNT, truTV and Max broadcast. Gauff secured her first win over a world No. 1 at a major, her second Grand Slam singles crown and a $2.8 million prize. She also became the first American to win the French Open since Serena Williams in 2015. The 21-year-old Floridian remained stoic throughout the match, while Sabalenka's emotions infected her play. Gauff's stolid demeanor was painted on her face until championship point triggered a celebratory collapse to the clay of Court Philippe-Chatrier. She edged Sabalenka 3-1 in aces and converted 9 of 21 break points. Sabalenka converted 6 of her 13 break point chances. "Honestly guys, this one hurts so much," Sabalenka said. "Especially after such a tough two weeks. Playing great tennis and then in these terrible conditions to show such terrible tennis in the final, it really hurts. But it's OK. Anyway, Coco congrats. In these tough conditions, you were a better player than me. "Well done on a great two weeks. Congrats on the second slam. You're a fighter and a hard worker." Sabalenka, who appeared in the last three Grand Slam finals, sent Gauff scrambling with her unmatched serving power early on. She broke Gauff twice through the first five games and surged to her initial 4-1 edge. Gauff answered with a run of 12-consecutive points as Sabalenka consistently missed on returns by just inches. The close calls resulted in several explosions of frustration from Sabalenka, while Gauff stared ahead with a cold focus. Gauff stopped the bleeding by securing a break and held serve in the seventh game to cut the deficit to a point. She broke Sabalenka for a second time in the next game, tying the match at 4-4. Sabalenka relaxed to break Gauff in the ninth game, regaining the lead. Gauff broke back in the 10th to tie the match once again. Sabalenka broke Gauff for a fourth time to grab back a 6-5 lead. But the American once again responded with a break-point conversion, forcing a tiebreak. Gauff jumped ahead 3-0 in the tie-break, but Sabalenka summoned more power to regain her form and win the set. Gauff stormed out to a 2-0 advantage to start the second set. She held in the fourth game and broke Sabalenka for the second time in the set in the fifth for a 4-1 lead. Sabalenka converted a break point to make the score 4-2, but was then broken for the seventh time in the seventh game of the set. Gauff proceeded to hold to clinch set point, tying the match. Sabalenka and Gauff each held to start the final set. Gauff broke Sabalenka in the third game to take control. She held in the fourth for a 3-1 advantage. Sabalenka held in the next game. She followed that point by breaking Gauff to tie the set 3-3. But Gauff secured another break in the seventh game and held in the eighth to move within a game of championship point. Sabalenka fought off an initial championship point and earned a break point opportunity. Gauff recovered to regain her advantage. Sabalenka then hit her final return wide, handing Gauff her first singles crown in Paris. No. 1 Jannik Sinner of Italy will meet No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz of Spain in the men's singles final Sunday at Roland-Garros. That match, which will not start before 9 a.m. EDT, will air on TNT, truTV and Max.

French Open women's final: Coco Gauff outlasts Aryna Sabalenka to win first title at Roland-Garros
Coco Gauff's French Open win is the second major title of her career. (Photo by Mustafa Yalcin/Anadolu via Getty Images) Two years after winning her first Grand Slam title, Coco Gauff has taken home her second. The 21-year-old American, the No. 2 player in the world, won the 2025 French Open with a strong 6(5)-7(7), 6-2, 6-4 win over world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka on Saturday. The victory at Roland-Garros came three years after Gauff last made the final, where she fell to Iga Światek in a disappointing loss. This time, she got to lift the trophy. On a windy day in Paris, with rain threatening to fall, Sabalenka showed her power early in the match, taking a 4-1 lead in the first set. But Gauff rallied to tie Sabalenka and later force a tiebreaker. Sabalenka, who grew visibly frustrated, was able to win the tiebreak after a comeback of her own. Advertisement But the second set was all Gauff's: The young American controlled the pace, forcing the increasingly unhappy Sabalenka to make several crucial mistakes. In the third set, Gauff took an early lead, but Sabalenka stayed right behind her, finally getting some momentum of her own. Sabalenka had a stunningly high number of errors throughout the match, finishing with 70 unforced errors. Gauff, who stayed calm the entire match, was able to take advantage of those in order to get the victory. The final game was intense: Gauff dropped one championship point but came back to secure the game and the title. Sabalenka hit the ball just out of bounds, and Gauff immediately dropped to the floor, overwhelmed with emotion. Gauff's win makes her the first American woman to take the French Open title in a decade, after Serena Williams won the Slam in 2015. Advertisement Notably, Gauff's second major title came in much the same way as her first. Gauff defeated Sabalenka to win the 2023 U.S. Open, beating the Belarusian in three sets after dropping the first set. But both players are better than they were three years ago, even playing with very different styles. Sabalenka's strength tends to come from her power, whereas Gauff's typically comes from her quickness and creativity on the court. Sabalenka will have to settle for second place after making her first French Open final, and she was emotional in the ceremony after the game. But the 27-year-old, who is the reigning U.S. Open winner, is much stronger on the hard court as opposed to the clay, and will have another chance at a title this summer.
