In an electrifying rollercoaster of emotions, 21-year-old Coco Gauff claimed victory over Aryna Sabalenka, the world number one, in the 2025 French Open final. Coco's dreams became reality after a grueling 2-hour, 37-minute battle, marked by 15 breaks and countless twists and turns.
Tears flowed freely as Coco Gauff lay on the back of Court Philippe Chatrier, repeatedly exclaiming, "Oh, my god!" Her mother, Candi, leapt up and down on the tribune like a pogo stick, lost in the moment: Coco had beaten the odds and secured her second Grand Slam title at Roland Garros.
This spectacular win came as a revenge for Coco, who had suffered a bitter defeat against Iga Swiatek in 2023. Like their previous encounter at the US Open final, Coco turned the tables against Sabalenka in a thrilling showdown. As she had predicted, Gauff fought for every single point, knowing that victory was just a matter of time.
Sabalenka's overconfidence as the favorite cost her dearly, with an uncharacteristic 70 unforced errors. Although Sabalenka had dethroned the "Queen of Roland Garros," she found herself unable to claim the title, having to acknowledge both Coco's resilience and her own mental collapse in the decisive moments of the final.
Like No Final since 1984
The crowd roared as the young prodigy Gauff, clad in her signature thick black leather jacket, initially seemed cold and lost her serve three times. However, Gauff remained undeterred, pushing Sabalenka to a tiebreak after drawing her level at 4-4.
Despite losing the first set, Sabalenka remained confident, only to falter after a two-hour slugfest. Sabalenka's temper worsened, as she let frustration take over, ranting, cursing, and swearing. The wind did play a part, but it was not the only factor contributing to Sabalenka's downfall.
The men's final on Sunday (3 pm/Eurosport and live ticker at ntv.de) promises to be just as thrilling, with world number one Jannik Sinner (Italy) set to face defending champion Carlos Alcaraz (Spain). This marks the first time since 1984 that the top two players in both the men's and women's finals will meet in Paris. Back then, the legends were McEnroe, Lendl, Navratilova, and Evert.
