Coco Gauff Clinches First French Open Title

In Women’s Single at the French Open Tennis 2025, American tennis star Coco Gauff defeated world number one Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka 6-7(5), 6-2, 6-4 in a thrilling final last night, clinching her maiden Roland Garros title and second Grand Slam crown.

With this victory, the 21-year-old became the first American woman to win the singles title in Paris since Serena Williams in 2015 and the youngest from the US to do so since Williams in 2002. Sabalenka, appearing in her third consecutive Grand Slam final but first on clay, started strong with aggressive net play and drop shots to lead 4-1 in



the opening set.

Gauff’s triumph also marked the first time since the 2018 Australian Open that the top two women in the world rankings met in a Grand Slam final. Having previously lifted the 2023 US Open trophy, she now joins an elite club with Slam titles on both hard and clay courts. The victory marks world number two Gauff’s second Grand Slam title and her first major triumph on clay. Gauff also became the youngest player to win both the French Open and US Open women’s singles titles since Serena Williams achieved the feat in 2002.
