Coco Gauff's Relentless Run to the French Open Final

In Paris, Coco Gauff sent a clear message: she’s not just chasing history—she’s demanding it. The 20-year-old American, sitting firmly as World No. 2, rolled straight through the French Open semi-finals with the sort of poise and power that gets crowds out of their seats. Up against Lois Bosson, a local wildcard ranked World No. 361, Gauff barely broke a sweat. She allowed Bosson just three games, winning 6-1, 6-2 in a brisk 69-minute clash that looked more like a training session than a Grand Slam semi-final.

Gauff’s win wasn’t just another match ticked off the calendar. It underscored how far she’s come since her breakthrough years—a blend of footspeed, reliable serve, and laser-focused baseline rallies. Bosson, stepping onto the biggest stage of her career, never really found an answer for Gauff’s deep returns and aggressive court coverage. Every attempt Bosson made to build momentum was quickly shut down. By the end, the atmosphere in Philippe-Chatrier had already turned its focus toward the main event looming ahead.

Sabalenka Awaits in a Rare Grand Slam Battle of Titans

The next mountain for Gauff is no small one: a face-off with World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka. Sabalenka’s own path to the final was much rockier, going toe-to-toe against clay queen Iga Swiatek. Most didn’t expect anyone to dethrone Swiatek, who was holding onto a 26-match unbeaten run on clay—until Sabalenka flipped the script. After a tight opening set and a gritty second, Sabalenka sprinted away in the decider, clinching a 7-6 (1), 4-6, 6-0 victory that stunned the tennis world.

This win is more than just a stat in Sabalenka’s growing résumé—it marks the end of a dynasty. Her victory sets up a clash with Gauff that’s been brewing for months, with both women frequently trading blows at the top of the game. Coco Gauff, the steady rising star, and Sabalenka, the powerhouse who never backs down, now set the stage for the most anticipated women’s final in years.

If you love tennis history, this final brings some serious nostalgia. It’s the first time since 2018 at any major and the first time since 1995 at Roland Garros that the French Open women’s final features the world’s top two players. For a whole generation of fans, this is the first real No. 1 vs No. 2 showdown in Paris.

The final takes place on June 7 at 6:30 pm IST, and there’s no question what’s at stake—a shot at tennis immortality. Gauff and Sabalenka are both hungry, both at the top of their games, and only one can walk away as French Open champion. Expect fireworks.
