Breaking News: Kori Gauff Wins French Open 2025
Paris, July 7, 2025 – In a thrilling match that had fans on the edge of their seats, American tennis sensation Kori Gauff has clinched her first French Open title and her second Grand Slam championship. The 21-year-old second seed defeated world number one and top seed, Belarus’ Arena Sabalenka, in a comeback victory of 6-7, 6-2, 6-4.
An Historic Victory for American Tennis
Gauff’s triumph marks a significant milestone in American tennis history. She is the first American to win the French Open singles title since Serena Williams in 2015. Moreover, at 21 years old, Gauff is the youngest American champion since Serena Williams herself won the title in 2002 at the age of 20.
Gauff’s Journey to the Top
Kori Gauff’s rise to the top has been nothing short of extraordinary. In 2022, she reached the French Open final but fell short to Iga Świątek. However, she has since shown remarkable resilience and determination. Gauff’s first Grand Slam victory came in 2023 at the US Open, and she has now added a French Open title to her collection.
Sabalenka’s Near Miss
Sabalenka, who won the Australian Open in 2023 and 2024, as well as the US Open in 2024, was aiming for her first French Open title. Despite her impressive record, she has yet to secure a victory at Roland Garros. This year’s final was her third consecutive Grand Slam final appearance, highlighting her consistent performance on the court.
Gauff’s Inspiring Comeback
Gauff’s victory is a testament to her ability to bounce back from adversity. After losing to Sabalenka in the first set, Gauff rallied to win the next two sets and claim the championship. Her triumph comes after a challenging journey, including a loss in the 2022 French Open final.
Looking Ahead
With this victory, Kori Gauff has solidified her status as one of the most promising young talents in tennis. As she continues to compete at the highest level, fans and experts alike will be eager to see what the future holds for this remarkable athlete.
