Roland-Garros, Paris — Aryna Sabalenka’s thunderous groundstrokes have carried the world No. 1 into her first French Open final, where she meets U.S. star Coco Gauff in a showdown of the tour’s top two players on Court Philippe-Chatrier today.
Sabalenka stunned three-time defending champion Iga Świątek 7-6 (1), 4-6, 6-0 in a dramatic semifinal, snapping the Pole’s 26-match win streak at Roland-Garros and ending her bid for a four-peat. The victory cemented Sabalenka’s status as the season’s dominant force: she has now reached the final in three of the year’s four majors and owns a tour-leading 41-4 match record on 2025’s clay swing.
Key Storylines
• Power vs Defense: Sabalenka leads the WTA in average forehand speed (121 km/h) and wins nearly 78 % of points behind her first serve on clay. Gauff, by contrast, excels in movement and counter-punching, producing a tour-best 62 % success rate in extended rallies of nine shots or more.
• Ranking Stakes: If Sabalenka lifts the Coupe Suzanne-Lenglen, she will guarantee the year-end No. 1 ranking regardless of results at Wimbledon or the U.S. Open. A Gauff title would propel the American within 500 ranking points of the top spot.
• Head-to-Head: Sabalenka leads 5-4, but Gauff claimed their most recent major meeting in the 2023 U.S. Open final. Four of their past five encounters have gone the distance, underscoring the razor-thin margin between the pair.
Path to the Final
Round | Sabalenka’s Results
R128 – def. Bucsa 6-1, 6-3
R64 – def. Trevisan 6-4, 6-2
R32 – def. Kostyuk 6-3, 7-6
R16 – def. Zheng Qinwen 6-2, 6-4
QF – def. Haddad Maia 7-5, 6-2
SF – def. Świątek 7-6, 4-6, 6-0
Quote of the Day
“I kept telling myself, ‘Stay aggressive, stay brave.’ The crowd was electric, and that energy pushed me to another level,” Sabalenka said after dismissing Świątek in just over two hours of high-octane tennis.
What’s at Stake
A triumph would make Sabalenka the first Belarusian woman to win on Parisian clay and give her a third Grand Slam title in 18 months, following the 2023 Australian Open and 2023 Wimbledon. It would also mark the first time since Serena Williams in 2015 that the same player captured multiple majors in a single season.
How to Watch
In the U.S., the women’s final airs live on TNT and streams on Max beginning at 8 a.m. ET. Viewers in Europe can tune in via Eurosport or their regional broadcasters, while TennisTV provides radio commentary worldwide.
