A Fablesque Conclusion of the Tennis Event in Paris (Detailed in France) - Magical Tennis Journey in the City of Love: French Cinderella Story Unfolds in Paris
Gear up for an electrifying French Open final on Saturday as World No. 2 Coco Gauff takes on Aryna Sabalenka! The 21-year-old American will challenge the Belarusian powerhouse for the top title after a thrilling semi-finals victory against wildcard player Lois Boisson.
Gauff conquered Boisson 6:1, 6:2 and will now face Sabalenka, who triumphed against defending champion Iga Swiatek. The 27-year-old Belarusian won 7:6 (7:1), 4:6, 6:0, putting an end to Swiatek's incredible winning streak at Stade Roland Garros.
Boisson, the world No. 361, amazed everyone by becoming the first Frenchwoman since Marion Bartoli 14 years ago to reach the semi-finals. Her impressive run included defeating world No. 3 Jessica Pegula and Mirra Andrejewa. However, against Gauff, she struggled to maintain the magical form that carried her this far. Boisson's inspired play from earlier rounds was notably absent as she fought tirelessly but couldn't outdo the American talent.
Sabalenka, on the other hand, edged out Swiatek after a fierce battle in the third set. The Polish player put up a resilient fight for nearly two hours. Sabalenka started the match triumphantly, but Swiatek clawed her way back, pushing the match into a second set. It seemed like the match would head into a deciding set, but Sabalenka executed a brilliant third set to clinch her place in the final.
"It feels incredible. But the job’s not done yet," said Sabalenka, who has now won three Grand Slam tournaments overall.
Boisson's fate may not have been what French fans were hoping for, but her iconic run still resonates. "I know you would have preferred her to win," Gauff said with a grin. "Every time you called her name, I whispered mine to myself," the American disclosed post-match.
