She did it!
Coco Gauff has officially won the 2025 French Open, securing her first Roland-Garros title and the second Grand Slam championship of her career at just 21 years old. With this win, she also becomes the first American woman to claim the French Open crown since Serena Williams in 2015.
After defeating world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka in the final, Gauff delivered a heartfelt victory speech, saying: “I didn’t think honestly that I could do it. But I’m gonna quote Tyler, The Creator right here. He said, ‘If I ever told you I had a doubt inside me, I must be lying.’ I’d like to leave that with you guys. I think I was lying to myself and I definitely could do it. Shout out to Tyler.”
To top it off, Coco shared a full-circle moment with fans, posting a photo of a handwritten note she made that read, “I will win the French Open 2025.” And she did just that!
A reminder to bet on yourself every time!
Congratulations, @cocogauff! We’re so proud of you! 💐🎾
