American tennis star Coco Gauff claimed her second career Grand Slam singles title and her first at Roland Garros after defeating top-ranked women’s tennis pro Aryna Sabalenka in the French Open final on Saturday.

Gauff, 21, dropped to the ground and covered her face after she defeated Sabalenka 6-7 (5), 6-2, 6-4. The win marked the first time an American won the title since Serena Willaims did it in 2015.

"The crowd really helped me today. You guys were cheering for me so hard, and I don’t know what I did to deserve so much love from the French crowd," she said. "But I appreciate you, guys."

Saturday’s win marked Gauff’s first victory at Roland Garros and her second Grand Slam title. She won the U.S. Open in 2023 when she defeated Sabalenka in three sets. She was 19.
