The Brief

    • Coco Gauff just won her first French Open title after defeating top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka.
    • This was the first No. 1 vs. No. 2 final in Paris since Serena Williams beat Maria Sharapova in 2013.
    • This win marks Gauff's second major trophy after the 2023 U.S. Open.

PARIS - Coco Gauff has won the French Open for the first time by defeating top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka 6-7 (5), 6-2, 6-4 on Saturday.

The second-ranked Gauff came out on top of a contest that was full of tension and momentum swings to claim her second major trophy after the 2023 U.S Open, where she also came from a set down to beat Sabalenka in the final.

It was the first No. 1 vs. No. 2 final in Paris since 2013, when Serena Williams defeated Maria Sharapova, and just the second in the last 30 years.
