Coco Gauff continues to make headlines in 2025. The 21-year-old American tennis star is proving she’s more than a flash in the pan — she is becoming a dominant force. Let’s look at her latest achievements, challenges, and goals.
French Open Triumph
In June 2025, Gauff claimed her first French Open singles title, defeating world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka in a thrilling three-set final, 6-7 (5), 6-2, 6-4. This made her the first American woman in a decade to win Roland Garros.
2025 Tournament Highlights
At the Madrid Open, she reached the final but lost to Sabalenka, 6-3, 7-6 (7-3)
In Rome (Italian Open), she also made the final but was defeated by Jasmine Paolini, 6-4, 6-2
At the China Open (Beijing), as defending champion, she’s been pushed in matches — e.g. a tough three-set win over Leylah Fernandez, 6-4, 4-6, 7-5
Most recently she defeated Belinda Bencic in 3 sets 4-6, 7-6 (4), 6-2 to reach the quarterfinals, securing her spot in the 2025 WTA Finals
Off-Court Moves & Legacy

She’s also active in giving back: in February she donated $100,000 to UNCF for tennis scholarships at historically Black colleges.
Challenges & Mindset
Gauff has had tough losses, disappointing runs, and match pressure. After a tough US Open exit, she expressed resilience: “I am not going to let this crush me.”
She’s also publicly advocated for reform in Grand Slam prize distribution, supporting more equitable pay and better player welfare.
What’s Next
She will aim to defend her title in Beijing fully.
In the WTA Finals, she’ll battle among the top players globally.
