Tennis Player Arina Sobolenko Faces Defeat in Roland Garros Final
In the city of lights, Paris, the "Roland Garros" tournament wrapped up with a US victory.
The women's championship was a spectacle, pitting the top tennis players in the world against each other - the world No.1 Aryna Sabalenka and No.2, American Coco Gauff. These powerhouses had squared off ten times before, with each player claiming a win five times. So, this wasn't exactly Sabalenka's most successful rivalry.
