French Open—Paris, France
Gauff Wins 2025 French Open Title Over Sabalenka
Saturday’s Results from Roland Garros
Saturday’s final at the 2025 French Open saw No. 2 seed No. 2 seed Coco Gauff win her second Grand Slam title, defeating top seed Aryna Sabalenka 6-7(5), 6-2, 6-4.
Sabalenka, who has been the undisputed best player in the world the last year on Tour, hit 37 winners, won 48 percent of her first serve points and broke her opponent on six occasions in a losing effort.
By contrast, Gauff won 60 percent of her first serve points and added 30 winners to her victory during the two hour 38 minutes encounter.
Improving to 6-5 against Sabalenka in lifetime meetings, Gauff now owns two Major titles. She always won the US Open in 2023.
Sabalenka had defeated defending champion Iga Swiatek 7-6(1), 4-6, 6-0 on Thursday. She also added straight set victories over No. 8 seed and Olympic Gold Medal winner Qinwen Zheng in the quarterfinals and powerful American and No. 16 seed Amanda Anisimova in the fourth round.
Gauff, who was contesting her second French Open final, ended her clay-court season with her head held high. The 21-year-old also reached the finals in Madrid, Spain and Rome, Italy, and showed the clay is perhaps her best surface.
Sabalenka and Gauff will remain the world No. 1 and world No. 2 players when Monday’s rankings are released.
Men’s Final Preview: Sinner vs. Alcaraz
Sunday’s blockbuster final in Paris, France will feature the world No. 1 and No. 2 players contesting for the title.
Top seed Jannik Sinner showed why he is the best player in the world on Friday, defeating three-time former winner and No. 6 seed Novak Djokovic 6-4, 7-5, 7-6(3).
Improving his head-to-head with Djokovic to 5-4, Sinner has now won four straight times against the legendary Serb. The Italian proved that his consistent, hard-hitting brand of tennis remains at the top of the mountain of the sport at the moment.
Djokovic, who was aiming to win his 25th career title, did allude to this French Open potentially being the final time he competes in Paris. The 38-year-old will now shift his focus to the grass of Wimbledon. A tournament that he has won on seven occasions.
No. 2 seed and defending champion Carlos Alcaraz advanced to his second consecutive final in Paris, defeating No. 8 seed Lorenzo Musetti 4-6, 7-6(3), 6-0, 2-0.
Alcaraz, who has been the standout player on the clay this season, won titles in Monte Carlo, Monaco, Rome, Italy, and made the finals in Barcelona, Spain entering the French Open.
The Spaniard has won four straight times against Sinner, dating back to the BNP Paribas Open in 2024.
The 22-year-old’s impressive resume includes two Wimbledon titles and a US Open crown to go along with his victory in Paris last year.
Sunday’s final will either result in Sinner owning four Majors, or Alcaraz moving to five Grand Slam titles. Both players have never lost a Major final.
