Coco Gauff lifted her maiden French Open title on Saturday afternoon and then told reporters that she hoped to be a “reflection of hope and light” for “people that look like me in America”.

From one set down, No. 2 seed Coco Gauff stormed back to topple World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka at 2025 Roland Garros and claim her second Grand Slam singles title. She is the first American to win this title since Serena Williams ten years ago.
