Whom did Coco Gauff defeat in the 2025 French Open women’s singles final? She defeated Aryna Sabalenka.

Gauff won the final 6–7, 6–2, 6–4 on 7 June 2025, overcoming the world No. 1 after losing a tight opening-set tiebreak. The victory gave the American her first French Open singles championship and her second Grand Slam singles title.

The result echoed their 2023 US Open final, where Gauff also beat Sabalenka after losing the first set. Gauff’s Paris victory therefore made Sabalenka the opponent in both of her first two major singles triumphs. It also turned around a painful French Open memory: Gauff had been runner-up to Iga Swiatek in the 2022 final.

The alternatives reflect nearby storylines from the same tournament. Sabalenka defeated Iga Swiatek in the semifinals, while Gauff beat France’s Loïs Boisson in her semifinal. Elena Rybakina and Jessica Pegula were not Gauff’s final opponent, making Sabalenka the single canonical answer.
