Coco Gauff in the French Open final: Complementary meetings of the title favorites!

An exciting day for tennis fans! Coco Gauff is in her career in the Finale of the French Open for the second time. In an impressive appearance, the 19-year-old defeated the French woman Lois Boisson 6-1, 6-2 and now only needs a win to secure the coveted Suzanne-Lenglen Trophy. Gauff, set as number two, showed a stable performance over the entire season of only 69 minutes, in which she triumphed typically.

Boisson, which ranks 361 in the world, had previously sensationally defeated the top ten players Jessica Pegula and Mirra Andreeva, but could not assert themselves against Gauff. The French player made numerous unscathed mistakes in the final and looked frustrated, which made Gauff's dominance easier. Gauff brings this achievement to her second final in Paris after she had already lost in the crucial round against Iga Swiatek in 2022.

opponent in the final: Aryna Sabalenka

In the final, Coco Gauff again meets Aryna Sabalenka, who stopped the winning streak of Iga Swiatek, the last defending champion, with 7-6 (1), 4-6, 6-0. This is the second time that number one and number two in the world at the French Open meet, an event that has not happened since 2018. This constellation has additional tension, because the two players were already familiar with the encounter in the final of the US Open 2023, where Gauff won their first Grand Slam title.

The young American looks optimistic about the upcoming match on Saturday, June 7th. "I mentally prepared for the support of the audience for Lois," said Gauff after her victory. Her superior form and the clear victory in the semi-finals could give her decisive advantages in a duel with Sabalenka, which is three times Grand Slam winner.
