It was the first No. 1 vs. No. 2 final in Paris since 2013, when Serena Williams defeated Maria Sharapova, and just the second in the last 30 years.

Gauff became the seventh American woman to win Roland Garros in the Open Era. She won her second major following the 2023 U.S. Open, where she also overcame a one-set deficit to beat Sabalenka. Gauff is the second straight American woman to win a major after Madison Keys also defeated Sabalenka in three sets to win the Australian Open.

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.
