Coco Gauff conquers her second singles Grand Slam title at Roland Garros today!
“Coco Gauff has conquered Paris.” This was the line that echoed on TV screen around the world as Coco Gauff dropped down to the red clay at the Philippe-Chatrier Court after claiming a come from behind win against a fierce opponent like Aryna Sabalenka! In doing so, Gauff became the first American woman to claim the Roland Garros since Serena Williams in 2015!
From a six-year-old dreamer to the world No. 2, WTA star Coco Gauff’s journey began with a bold promise: to become the GOAT. Inspired after watching Serena Williams lift her fifth Australian Open title in 2010, Gauff picked up a racquet and never looked back. She won her first tournament at the age of 8 and turned professional at 14. A year later, she made headlines as the youngest woman in history to qualify for Wimbledon and then stunned the world by defeating Venus Williams in the Round 32, becoming the youngest player to win a match at the British Slam since 1991.
Since turning pro in 2018, Gauff has captured 19 titles, 10 in singles and 9 in doubles, and continues to grow with the guidance of Jean-Christophe Faurel and Matt Daly. Her dominant win at the 2024 WTA Finals established her status as one of the game’s elites.
Coco Gauff has won three Grand Slam titles: two in singles and one in doubles, with the 2025 French Open title as the latest addition to her trophy cabinet. She earned her first major singles victory at the 2023 US Open, where, at just 19, she defeated strong opponents including Caroline Wozniacki, Jelena Ostapenko, Karolina Muchova, and Aryna Sabalenka. Her triumph made her the youngest woman to win the US Open since Serena Williams in 1999.
In 2024, Gauff continued her progress by surpassing Caroline Wozniacki for the most WTA 1000 hard-court wins before turning 21. She also won her first Grand Slam doubles title at Roland Garros, partnering with Katerina Siniakova, and became the youngest player and first American in a decade to win the prestigious 2024 WTA Finals. That same year, she was named the female flag-bearer for Team USA at the Paris Olympics, becoming the youngest athlete ever to receive the honor.
