Gound wins Sabalenka to claim the title of the France Open for the first time | Tennis news


Coco Gautf of the United States wins its second Grand Slam title that hits Aryana Sabalenka of Belarus in the France Open.

Coco Gautf has won the France Open for the first time by defeating Aryna Sabalenka of first level 6-7 (5), 6-2, 6-4 in the final.

The second classified dripper came to the top of Saturday's contest that was full of tension and impulse to claim its second great trophy after the 2023 United States Open, where it also came from a set to beat Sabalenka in the final.

It was the first number one vs. number two in Paris since 2013, when Serena Williams defeated Maria Sharapova, and only the second in the last 30 years.

After Sabalenka sent a setback in Gautff's second starting point, the 21 -year -old American fell on his back, covering his face with both hands before resting his right in the clay. After greeting Sabalenka on the network, he hugged the film director Spike Lee and celebrated with his entourage, three years after he lost his first final in Roland-Garros.

Sabalenkka began the decisive set strongly, sticking from his high -risk approach to celebrate his first service game.

Goorf responded by raising its level, winning an excellent rally in the third game that caused strong cheers and applause of the crowd. After an intense exchange of falling shots, Gound hit a lobe that Sabalenka pursued before trying a shot between his legs, just for Gonff to intercept on the network and end with a winner.

Gonff was consistent from the baseline and obtained a break point, which he turned when Sabalenka failed twice, giving him an advantage of 2-1. Sabalenka turned to her box and shouted with frustration, but then recovered her composure, breaking to level the game in 3-3.

However, he broke up in Love, and Gound then kept the service twice to claim the title after a match that lasted 2 hours, 38 minutes.
