Coco Gauff 'Still in Shock' After Winning 2025 French Open Title at Roland-Garros
Coco Gauff said she is "still in shock" after completing a three-set comeback against world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka to win her first French Open title.
Gauff defeated Sabalenka 6-7 (5), 6-2, 6-4 to claim her second major trophy on Saturday at Roland Garros.
"I worked so hard for this moment and for it to have happened is insane... I'm still in shock honestly can’t find the words but all I can say for now is just thank you and never give up on your dreams," Gauff wrote on social media.
Sabalenka won the first set on a tiebreak, but struggled with unforced errors as Gauff took the final two sets.
Gauff collapsed on her back on the court when Sabalenka's last backhand went wide to end the third set.
After accepting her trophy, the 21-year-old told the crowd in Paris that she "didn't think, honestly, that I could do it."
"But I'm actually going to quote Tyler, The Creator, right here and he said: 'If I ever told you I had a doubt inside me, I must be lying.' So, I would like to leave that with you guys. I think I was lying to myself, and I definitely could do it," Gauff said.
Saturday marked Gauff's second major championship win following her victory at the 2023 US Open title. Gauff similarly won her 2023 title after mounting a three-set comeback against Sabalenka.
Gauff, 21, is one of just five American women since 1968 to win multiple Grand Slam titles in singles tennis before turning 22, according to ESPN Stats and Research.
