Coco Gauff has become the first American to win the French Women’s title in France since Serena Williams In 2015 after beating Aryna Sabalenka, the best, in three sets on Saturday. It is his first French title and his second major as a whole.
After an opening set upside down that Sabalenka was ahead of 7-6 (5), the American tennis star responded with an immediate break and won the second set 6-2 to force a third decisive set. She won the third set 6-4.
The match was full of tensions and momentum, amplified by winding conditions.
After Sabalenka sent a setback largely on the second GAUFF match point, the 21 -year -old American woman fell on her back, covering her face with both hands before resting her lawyer on the clay. After welcoming Sabalenka to the net, she hugged the director in her arms Spike Lee and celebrated with those around her, three years after losing during her first final at Roland-Garros.
Sabalenka has strongly started the decisive whole, sticking to its high risk approach to hold its first service game.
Gauff responded by increasing its level, winning a superb rally in the third match which attracted applause and applause of the crowd. After an intense exchange of drops, Gauff struck a lob that Sabalenka continued before trying a shot between his legs – only for Gauff to intercept him with a net and finished with a winner.
Gauff was consistent with the baseline and obtained a stop point, which she converted when Sabalenka doubled, giving her a 2-1 lead. Sabalenka turned to her box and shouted in frustration, but then regained his composure, breaking to level the match at 3-3.
However, she was broken in Love, and Gauff then held the service twice to win the title after a match that lasted 2 hours, 38 minutes.
This is the second Grand Slam of Gauff so far. She beat Sabalenka in the 2023 US Open Final.
Sabalenka, 27, who is from Belarus, won three majors – two Australian open titles and an American title – but it was his first appearance in the final of the French Open.
It was the first final No. 1 against No. 2 in Paris since 2013, when Serena Williams beat Maria Sharapova, and the second in the past 30 years.
Sabalenka and Gauff have divided their 10 previous clashes uniformly, but Sabalenka won her last meeting, also on a clay court at the Madrid Open a month ago.
