PARIS — Coco Gauff’s relentless march toward a second career Grand Slam title continued Thursday as the 20-year-old American dismissed French wildcard Loïs Boisson 6-1, 6-2 to book her place in the French Open 2025 final at Roland-Garros. Gauff, now ranked No. 2 in the world, needed just 68 minutes on Court Philippe-Chatrier to silence the partisan crowd and set up a blockbuster championship clash with Belarusian powerhouse Aryna Sabalenka, the tournament’s No. 1 seed. Dominant from first ball Gauff broke Boisson’s serve five times and won 83 percent of her first-serve points, showcasing the aggressive baseline game and vastly improved forehand that have defined her 2025 season. “I stayed calm and trusted my patterns,” she told reporters afterward, noting that her off-season focus on court positioning is paying dividends. Return to the Parisian spotlight The Delray Beach native already owns a Roland-Garros runner-up trophy from 2022, but this year’s run feels different. She entered Paris with a tour-leading 37-6 match record and eight titles, the most on the WTA so far this season. Victory on Saturday would make her the youngest American since Serena Williams in 2002 to lift the Coupe Suzanne-Lenglen and could propel her to the No. 1 ranking depending on Sabalenka’s result. Sabalenka showdown looms Sabalenka, who halted Gauff in January’s Australian Open semifinals, advanced earlier with a straight-sets win over Iga Świątek. The head-to-head stands at 4-3 in the Belarusian’s favor, but Gauff took their most recent clay-court meeting in Madrid. “I’ve learned how to absorb her pace and redirect it,” Gauff said when asked about the rematch. “The key is serving smart and staying brave in the rallies.” What’s at stake • Second career Grand Slam crown for Gauff (after the 2023 US Open) • First American women’s champion in Paris since Sofia Kenin in 2020 • Possible ascent to WTA No. 1 • Momentum heading into the grass-court swing and the 2025 Olympic Games, also to be staged at Roland-Garros First serve for Saturday’s final is scheduled not before 3 p.m. local time (9 a.m. ET). With her confidence soaring and the Parisian clay beneath her feet, Coco Gauff stands one win away from etching her name into French Open history once again.
