Coco Gauff repeats idol Serena Williams’ path: US Open, WTA Finals, and French Open by 21

Coco Gauff has captured her second Grand Slam title, winning the 2025 French Open at age 21. She defeated world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka in a dramatic three-set final, further cementing her place among tennis elites.
