Coco Gauff beats Aryna Sabalenka for first French Open championship

Coco Gauff got the best of Aryna Sabalenka yet again.

In a rematch of the 2023 U.S. Open final, Gauff triumphed to secure her second Grand Slam title and her inaugural win at Roland Garros. She staged a comeback after dropping a tightly contested first set, ultimately clinching the French Open with a 6-7, 6-2, 6-4 victory on Saturday.

The 21-year-old becomes the first American woman in a decade to win the major.

Gauff also avenged her 2022 French Open final disappointment when she lost to Iga Swiatek in straight sets.

The match was Sabalenka’s second consecutive major final appearance this year.

She previously lost to fellow American Madison Keys in the Australian Open final in January.
