Gauff launched a stunning comeback to force a tiebreak in the first set, before dominating the next two sets to win her second Grand Slam title.

Alcaraz beat Sinner in last year’s semifinals at Roland-Garros, and is 7-4 all-time against the Italian. The 2023 U.S. Open champion is 2-1 against Sinner in major tournaments, having also been victorious in the quarterfinals of the 2022 U.S. Open.

Drawing on the painful memory of her defeat three years ago in the French Open final gave Coco Gauff just the motivation she needed to win the clay-court tournament for the first time.

On Saturday, Coco Gauff etched her name into tennis history as the winner of the 2025 French Open. The 21-year-old tennis phenom defeated Aryna Sabalenka in three sets, getting a huge comeback to win her first title at Roland-Garros, and her second Grand Slam.

On Friday, defending champion Carlos Alcaraz defeated Lorenzo Musetti, who was forced to retire in the fourth set due to injury. Then hours later, his rival Jannik Sinner continued his torrid stretch with a straight-set victory over 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic.

Twenty-four-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic said after his loss in the French Open that Friday's match could be his final match at Roland Garros.
