French Open: Coco Gauff Fights Back To Stun Sabalenka, Wins First French Open Title (Ld)
French Open Women: Coco Gauff of the United States won her maiden French Open Women's singles title, beating World No.1 Aryna Sabalenka in a gripping three-set final in Paris on Saturday. The 21-year-old came back firing on all cylinders after losing a dramatic 78-minute first set on a tiebreak to stun the World No.1 6-7(5), 6-2, 6-4 in the thrilling clash on Court Philippe-Chatrier that lasted two hours and 38 minutes, adding a first Roland-Garros title to her US Open success from 2023.
Only this week, the American World No.2 conceded she had all but written herself off before the first ball was struck against a dominant Iga Swiatek in the 2022 final – her first on a Grand Slam stage.
While she wavered with a 3-1 lead in the third set, she stayed mentally stronger under pressure and handled the trying, blustery conditions better than her opponent, whom she fell to in the Madrid final last month. After narrowly losing a mesmerizing, back-and-forth first set, Gauff rebounded spectacularly to close out victory after 2 hours and 38 minutes and hoist the Coupe Suzanne Lenglen.
