In 2022, Coco Gauff walked onto Court Philippe-Chatrier for her first Grand Slam final. But even before the first ball was struck, doubt crept in. “I wrote myself off before the match even happened<\/em>,” she confessed years later. However, that day, her game was impacted by nervousness. She double-faulted early, dropped the first two service games, and crumbled in front of Iga Swiatek’s dominance, losing 1-6, 3-6 in just 68 minutes.<\/p>

Three years later, everything has changed. Coco Gauff is now the WTA No. 2, a US Open champion, and no longer just a prodigy. Today, she returned to Philippe-Chatrier for her second French Open final. This time, with calm in her mind and power in her shots, she finally completed her unfinished business. Gauff lifted the Suzanne-Lenglen trophy, one that she had dreamt of since 2022. <\/p>

Gauff overpowered WTA No.1 Aryna Sabalenka in a thrilling match by 6(5)-7(7), 6-2, and 6-4 and lay down on the clay court with simply one expression, “Oh my God!”<\/em><\/p>

Like 2022, she was again teary-eyed, but this time her emotions showcased something different- a warrior who knows how to rule the court!<\/p>

Gauff showcased her composure and consistency to edge past Aryna Sabalenka in a tightly contested battle, claiming her second Grand Slam trophy. The American player served 3 aces to Sabalenka’s 2. Although both players struggled with double faults, Gauff committed only seven compared to Sabalenka’s six. <\/p>

Gauff landed 63% of her first serves and won 60% of those points, a clear dominance over her Belarusian opponent, who had a lower first-serve percentage of 59% and won just 48% of those points. On second serve, Gauff was again stronger, winning 61% to Sabalenka’s 54%.<\/p>
