The 2025 French Open is delivering a dream final on Saturday, June 7, as World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka takes on World No. 2 Coco Gauff. This isn’t just a battle for a Grand Slam title — it’s the first No. 1 vs. No. 2 women’s final at Roland Garros in more than 30 years, and it promises fireworks from start to finish.
Sabalenka arrives at this stage after pulling off one of the biggest upsets of the tournament. She ended Iga Swiatek’s dominant reign in Paris, halting the Pole’s 26-match win streak at Roland Garros with a fierce 7-6(1), 4-6, 6-0 victory in the semifinals. It was a statement win — a mix of power, precision, and mental toughness that confirmed Sabalenka’s place at the top of the game.
On the other side of the net, Coco Gauff cruised through her semifinal against French wildcard Lois Boisson, winning 6-1, 6-2. Her form has been solid all tournament, and her blend of athleticism, maturity, and court craft continues to grow stronger with every match. At just 21, Gauff already plays like a seasoned pro — and with a US Open title under her belt, she knows what it takes to win on the biggest stages.
This final is also a rematch of the 2023 US Open, where Gauff came from behind to defeat Sabalenka 2-6, 6-3, 6-2 and claim her first Grand Slam title. Sabalenka will surely be carrying the weight of that loss into this match, making Saturday not just about the trophy, but about redemption.
Both players are in top form, and their contrasting styles — Sabalenka’s raw power vs. Gauff’s speed and resilience — make this one of the most exciting matchups in recent memory. It’s not just a clash of rankings, but a clash of momentum, history, and evolving legacies.
One thing’s for sure: no matter who lifts the trophy, this final will go down as one of the defining moments of the 2025 tennis season.
