This Saturday, starting at 15:10 p.m. on Court Philippe-Chatrier, the women's final at Roland-Garros promises an intense clash between world number 1 Aryna Sabalenka and world number 2 Coco Gauff. This is the first time since 2013 that the top two players in the WTA rankings have met in a Grand Slam final.
Aryna Sabalenka, 27, is aiming for her first Roland Garros title after winning the Australian Open in 2023 and 2024, as well as the US Open in 2024. She reached the final by defeating four-time champion Iga swiatek in the semi-final, ending the Polish woman's 26-game winning streak in Paris.
Meanwhile, 21-year-old Coco Gauff, a finalist at Roland Garros in 2022 and US Open champion in 2023, is also looking to win her first title on Parisian clay. She qualified for the final by defeating France's Loïs Boisson in straight sets.
A balanced duel
The two players have met ten times, with five victories each. Gauff won the 2023 US Open final against Sabalenka, while the Belarusian exacted revenge in their last encounter in Madrid.
This match promises a contrast of styles: Sabalenka's power versus Gauff's mobility and precision. With three-time defending champion Swiatek absent, this final will crown a new champion at Roland Garros. Join us at 15:10 p.m.!
