French Open women’s final: Coco Gauff outlasts Aryna Sabalenka to win first title at Roland-Garros

Gauff launched a stunning comeback to force a tiebreak in the first set before dominating the next two sets to win her second Grand Slam title
Two years after winning her first Grand Slam title, Coco Gauff has taken home her second crown. The 21-year-old American — and the No. 2 player in the world — won the 2025 French Open with a strong 6-7 (5), 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

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 stunning 70 unforced errors throughout the match. 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 the title. Sabalenka hit the shot just out of bounds, and Gauff immediately dropped to the court, overwhelmed with emotion.
