The 2025 French Open women’s final features a blockbuster matchup fulfilling the wishes of many: world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka and world No. 2 Coco Gauff.
It’s the first time since 2013 that the top two seeds have met in the final at Roland Garros — with Serena Williams defeating Maria Sharapova that year.
In 2025, Gauff and Sabalaneka are both looking for their first French Open title. Sabalenka cleared the way after a stunning victory over Iga Swiatek in the semifinals, ending the three-time champion’s 26-match winning streak at Roland Garros.
Known for her aggressive baseline play and power on both wings, the Belarusian has looked locked in throughout the clay season and now stands one win away from her third major title. Sabalenka is a two-time Australian Open champion and winner of the 2023 U.S. Open.
Gauff returns to the French Open final for the second time, having made her first run to the championship match here in 2022, where she lost to Swiatek.
The 21-year-old American advanced to the final with a commanding straight-sets win over French wildcard Loïs Boisson in the semis, showing poise and focus in front of a home crowd pulling for the underdog.
Gauff’s combination of athleticism, court coverage, and improved serve has made her a consistent Grand Slam threat over the past two years.
The head-to-head between Gauff and Sabalenka is perfectly even at 5–5, with each player owning significant wins over the other. Their most memorable battle came in the 2023 U.S. Open final, where Gauff rallied from a set down to defeat Sabalenka and claim her first major title.
Last month, Sabalenka defeated Gauff in straight sets, 6–3, 7–6, to win the Mutua Madrid Open final on clay, rallying from a 5–3 deficit in the second set
to take it in a tiebreaker.
Today’s final will be a test of contrasts: Sabalenka’s raw power and first-strike mentality against Gauff’s defense, speed, and tactical adjustments. Both players are in top form, hungry for their first French Open crown.
Grab your popcorn this morning. This match will be a thriller.
