Coco Gauff made history and set a precedent after winning Roland Garros for the first time at the age of 21. Defeating the number one ranked player, Aryna Sabalenka, 6-7 (5), 6-2, and 6-4 in Saturday’s final, she touched the sky with her hands, but what came next simply crowned her victory.
The young tennis player also became the first American in a decade to win the singles title at the French Open. She now boasts two Grand Slam titles, along with the US Open she won in 2023.
Coco Gauff’s shocking pre match blunder at French Open leaves fans stunned
As if that weren’t enough, Gauff will take home $2.9 million in prize money. And yes, after repeating a milestone in the sport that only two legends, Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova, had achieved before, Coco deserves it all. This was the first final between the number 1 and number 2 in Paris since 2013.
Recognition from great role models, another invaluable prize
In light of this achievement, former US President Barack Obama did not hesitate to congratulate her: “Congratulations to @CocoGauff for an amazing championship at the French Open – the first American singles champion at @RolandGarros in a decade. You make us all proud,” he wrote on his official Twitter account.
His wife Michelle Obama also dedicated some heartfelt words that reflect the warmth of a proud mother: “Congrats, @CocoGauff! Your determination, strength, and grace throughout the French Open has inspired us all – and showed us what’s possible. Proud of you!” she wrote.
And who else joined in the congratulations? The King! LeBron James quoted Barack Obama’s post and added: “I SECOND THAT!!! Congratulations my fellow flag bearer @CocoGauff,” along with clapping hands emojis.
Jimmy Butler didn’t want to be left behind and showed his support and admiration for the young woman. Sharing a Tennis Channel post on his Instagram stories where she is crowned champion, Jimmy accompanied her name with emojis greeting her.
And continuing with the sports legends, Billie Jean King, a tennis legend herself, dedicated these words to her: “Congratulations to @CocoGauff on her second Grand Slam women’s singles title, and her first singles title at #RolandGarros! Outstanding!“.
In addition, Spanish tennis player Carlos Alcaraz also used his X account to congratulate her: “Many congrats @CocoGauff!!!” he wrote, accompanying his greeting with an emoji of hands forming a heart.
Without a doubt, this is just the beginning of a great legend that is making and will continue to make its mark on the world of tennis. And these messages are further proof of that.

UFC 316 results, highlights: Kayla Harrison wins UFC title, faces off with Amanda Nunes after beating Pena
Getty Images Kayla Harrison has hit the jackpot. The two-time Olympic champion added more gold to her trophy case, winning the UFC women's bantamweight championship and setting up a valuable fight with soon-to-be Hall of Famer Amanda Nunes. Despite being the challenger, Harrison entered UFC 316 as the biggest betting favorite on the card. The Olympic judoka lived up to her reputation, dominating two-time UFC champion Julianna Pena from bell to bell. In Round 2, Harrison latched onto a kimura, wrenching Pena's arm and shoulder back. There were only seconds left in the round, but Pena frantically tapped. "This is for anyone who's ever felt hopeless, who's wanted to quit or give up," Harrison said during her post-fight interview, referring to her difficult weight cut. "I'll tell you what, on Thursday, I wanted to quit and give up."You gotta go to […]
