Coco Gauff won the first French Open singles title and the second of her career by coming from a set down to beat world number one Aryna Sabalenka.
Coco Guaff who was tagged as one of the favourite won the match 6-7 (5-7) 6-2 6-4 victory after an intense match between the two best women’s tennis players in the world.
This is the second Grand Slam singles triumph of Gauff’s career, adding to the US Open title she won in 2023, also by beating Belarus’ Sabalenka. She is the first American to win the French Open since Serena Williams achieved this feat in 2015.
Guaff expressed his excitement after the match.
She said,
“I was going through a lot of things when I lost here three years ago. I am just glad to be back here. I was going through a lot of dark thoughts.”
Guaff will be hoping that she can continue in this form when she plays in the next grand slam at Wimbledon later in the year.
