Coco Gauff Wins 1st French Open, Defeats Sabalenka for Second Grand Slam Title

Reese, Kmac, Pam and Alex discuss Coco Gauff's French Open win and her opponent's controversial comments.

Coco Gauff and Aryna Sabalenka faced each other in two high-profile Grand Slam finals in 2023 and 2025, each showcasing a different dynamic and outcome. In the 2023 US Open final, 19-year-old American Coco Gauff defeated Aryna Sabalenka with a score of 2-6, 6-3, 6-2.

The 2025 French Open final saw a rematch between the two, where Gauff won again. Coco Gauff defeated Aryna Sabalenka in the 2025 French Open women's singles final, securing her second Grand Slam title with a 6–7(5–7), 6–2, 6–4 victory. This win marks the first time an American woman has claimed the Roland Garros title since Serena Williams in 2015.

In the match, Gauff showcased resilience by coming back after losing the first set. Sabalenka, on the other hand, expressed frustration after the match, attributing her loss to her own mistakes rather than crediting Gauff's performance. Were Sabalenka’s comments out of line? How good was the match between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner?
