Coco Gauff won Roland Garros for the first time on Saturday. The American secured a hard-fought victory over Aryna Sabalenka in the final.
The 21-year-old Gauff defeated Sabalenka in three sets: 6-7 (5), 6-2, and 6-4. The match on the clay in Paris lasted over 2.5 hours.
This is Gauff’s second Grand Slam title in her career. In 2023, she won the US Open.
Gauff reached the Roland Garros final for the second time. In 2022, the world number two had to acknowledge Iga Swiatek as her superior.
Sabalenka remains without a final victory at Roland Garros due to the defeat. The world number one has won the Australian Open twice and the US Open once.
