French Open Women's Final - Coco Gauff cracks Paris as Sabalenka fades again

Goodness gracious Gauff! The American has won her first ever Roland Garros title and second overall Grand Slam singles crown with a Parisian rollercoaster of a victory against the World Number 1 Aryna Sabalenka. Join Joel and Chris at Tennis Weekly HQ as they reflect on the final in Paris and begin to unpack where the battle was won and lost. The duo talk about those *70* unforced errors that came off the Belarusian’s racket and what makes the Gauff match up such a tricky test for her. They question whether Sabalenka needs a better Plan B and whether the pressure of finals is having an impact with now 2 Grand Slam finals defeats in a row leaving her overall record 3-3. As for Coco Gauff, it was cool, calm and composed tennis matched by the American’s athleticism that got Joel and Chris really talking about how good she has become in these moments… at just 21 years of age. They look ahead to Wimbledon and debate what each can hope to achieve on the grass courts of SW19 with Gauff’s record best a trio of R4 appearances in 2019, 2021 and 2024. They also dish out some Tennis Weekly awards as they reflect on the women’s event as a whole including Best Match, Biggest Surprise plus who left a bit of room for improvement.
