French Open: Coco Gauff Fights Back To Stun Sabalenka, Wins First Title At Roland Garros
Stade Roland Garros: Coco Gauff of the United States won the French Open Women's singles title, beating World No.1 Aryna Sabalenka in the final in Paris on Saturday. The 21-year-old recovered from losing a dramatic 78-minute first set on a tiebreak to stun the World No.1 6-7(5), 6-2, 6-4 in a gripping three-set women’s final on Court Philippe-Chatrier that lasted two hours and 38 minutes, adding a first Roland-Garros title to her US Open success from 2023.
The world No.2 becomes the first American to win the Roland Garros singles title since Serena Williams in 2015, and the youngest American since Serena Williams in 2002.
Sabalenka started the match on a rousing note with a double break for a 4-1 lead in the first set. But Gauff came back with Sabalenka leading 4-1, 40-0 to claw her way back into this first set to level at 4-4. Sabalenka, the world No.1, threw in two double faults from 40-0 in that sixth game and lost her radar after that as errors started creeping into her game.
