"After greeting Sabalenka at the net, she hugged film director Spike Lee and celebrated with her entourage, three years after she lost in her first final at Roland-Garros."
"Gauff responded by raising her level, winning a superb rally in the third game that drew loud cheers and applause from the crowd."
Coco Gauff triumphed at the French Open, defeating top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka 6-7 (5), 6-2, 6-4, in a gripping final that showcased both players' skills. This victory marks Gauff's second major title, having previously won the 2023 U.S. Open against Sabalenka, where she also rallied from a set down. The match bore high stakes, being only the second top-ranked women's final in Paris in the last three decades. After a tense contest lasting 2 hours, 38 minutes, Gauff celebrated her win, reflecting on her growth since her last final at Roland-Garros three years prior.
