The top-ranked tennis star, 27, faced an online backlash after she initially appeared to downplay the second-ranked Gauff’s 6-7 (5), 6-2, 6-4 victory, which marked the first time an American has won a singles title at the French Open since Serena Williams did so in 2015.

After winning the 2025 French Open, Coco Gauff said it's a title she always wanted. She didn't know the trophy she brought home would be so small.

Coco Gauff responded to Aryna Sabalenka's viral comments after defeating her in the women's singles final at Roland-Garros on Saturday.
