Gauff denies Sabalenka again to win second Grand Slam title

Coco Gauff was already a tennis superstar, but she has elevated her status to another plane with her latest Grand Slam victory at Roland Garros.

Gauff overcame dominant world No.1 Aryna Sabalenka from a set down in challenging conditions, winning 6-7(5) 6-2 6-4 after two hours and 38 minutes after trailing 4-1, 40-0 in the first set.

It’s her second major trophy after the 2023 US Open – where she also beat Sabalenka in the final – making her the first American woman to become a multiple Grand Slam champion since Serena Williams in 2002.

This one is extremely meaningful, given it comes where she won the junior title in 2018 and suffered one of the most difficult defeats of her career to Iga Swiatek in the 2022 women’s final.
