Coco Gauff Wins French Open Second Grand Slam Defeating Aryna Sabalenka

Coco Gauff claimed her second Grand Slam title by winning the 2025 French Open, defeating world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka in a thrilling come-from-behind victory. After the match, Gauff celebrated with the Coupe Suzanne Lenglen trophy but later revealed that the large trophy seen in photos remains with the tournament; winners receive a much smaller replica to keep, which she humorously compared in size to a Perrier bottle. The American star, who also won the 2023 U.S. Open, expressed how much the French Open title meant to her, calling it a dream come true and emphasizing the importance of the memories over the trophy's size. During celebrations, Gauff experienced a humorous moment when the trophy's lid fell off, similar to an incident involving Iga Swiatek in 2023. Gauff also responded firmly to Sabalenka's comments suggesting she would have beaten Gauff had she defeated Swiatek, highlighting the intense rivalry in women's tennis. Meanwhile, the men's final saw Carlos Alcaraz defend his title in a comeback victory against Jannik Sinner, with Gauff joking about missing part of the match due to WiFi issues on her flight home.
