American Coco Gauff was crowned the French Open champion after defeating Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka in the Roland Garros final.

The match marked the first time since 2013 that the world’s number one and two players faced off, reminiscent of Serena Williams’ victory over Maria Sharapova.

This encounter also represented the second of its kind in the last thirty years, adding a historic touch to the tournament.
