Coco Gauff crowns the French Open winner in Paris!

Paris, Frankreich - Coco Gauff reached an important milestone in her career on June 7, 2025 by winning the French Open. In an exciting finale, the 21-year-old American defeated the current world rankings Aryna Sabalenka 6: 7 (5: 7), 6: 2, 6: 4. With this, Gauff secured her second Grand Slam title after winning the US Open in 2023. This game was particularly formative for Gauff, which was inferior to IGA Swiadek in 2022.

The match took a total of 2:38 hours and took place under difficult conditions. Gauff and Sabalenka had to cope with strong wind and threatening rain, which led to numerous service losses. However, Gauff remained calm and used the opportunities that resulted from the 70 casual mistakes by Sabalenka. The second Championship Point was particularly crucial, which Gauff won thanks to a mistake by Sabalenka. Emotional moments shaped the victory when Gauff fell on the red sand of the Roland Garros after the last point, overwhelmed by Glück.

Way to the final

to get to this triumphal finale, Gauff won against the former top 10 player Madison Keys in the quarter-finals and prevailed against the French player Loïs Boisson in the semi-finals. This performance was particularly honorable because Boisson entered the semi -finals as a Wildcard and will now climb 65th in the world rankings. Sabalenka, on the other hand, reached the final after defeating the three -time defending champion Iga Swiatek in the semifinals.

criticism and challenges

The French Open 2025 are also criticized because the organizers are accused of creating the start of the games in favor of men, which leads to discussions about equality in sport. Alexander Zverev commented on the unfair conditions after his quarter -final defeat against Novak Djokovic, while Barbara Rittner contradicted him and appealed to his mistakes. Furthermore, Djokovic failed in the semi -finals against Jannik Sinner, who is now on the way to defending his title in Paris. The encounter between Sinner and the defending champion Carlos Alcaraz takes place on Sunday.

Gauff's success is not only a personal achievement, but also a return for American players to the international tennis circus. In addition to her victory at the French Open, she follows Madison Keys, who won the Australian Open in 2025. Gauff is the first American woman since Serena Williams who won the title in Roland-Garros.

The French Open 2025, which take place over May and June, once again show the high level and the competition in women's tennis. With her victory, Gauff took another crucial step in her career and shows that she has established herself among the best players in the world.
