Delray Beach’s Coco Gauff is the first American to win the championship at Roland Garros since Serena Williams in 2015.

Second seed Coco Gauff became the first American woman to win a French Open title since 2015, defeating top seed Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus 6-7 (5), 6-2, 6-4 on Saturday in Paris.

Coco Gauff came to Paris chasing a lifelong dream, and now the 21-year-old American has carved her place in history. A teary-eyed Gauff held off world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka 6-7, 6-2, 6-4 at the French Open Final in one of her finest career performances to capture her second Grand Slam in memorable fashion.
