Delray Beach’s Coco Gauff is the first American to win the championship at Roland Garros since Serena Williams in 2015.

Coco Gauff came to Paris chasing a lifelong dream, and now the 21-year-old American has carved her place in history. A teary-eyed Gauff held off world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka 6-7, 6-2, 6-4 at the French Open Final in one of her finest career performances to capture her second Grand Slam in memorable fashion.

The 21-year-old American, who was swept aside in the 2022 final at Roland-Garros, showed her resilience to overcome world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka in three sets.
