Coco Gauff Inspired by Gabby Thomas: 

She scripted history after become first women player to win Grand Slam Final after dropping first set to current world number 1 player and won that game similarly in the past Venus Williams defeated then World Number 1 against Steffi Graf in 1999 at Roland Garos(French Open)

The most surprising element about her victory is Monk Mode where he absolutely kept herself in perfect mental space, as playing final game against Sabalenka she put up a piece of paper where it was written “I will be French Open 2025 Champion”  those words were written 8 times on the single piece of paper.

There is an old interview popping up in reference to Gabrielle Thomas the Olympic 200m champion predicted that she will gold medal in Paris.

Gauff took inspiration from Thomas and she replicated the same mindset to win French Open title.

“I didn’t know if it was going to work or not, but it did. It’s a great mindset (Gabrielle Thomas) predicted and inspired me which gave me perfect confidence to win French Open title.

Gauff also stated telling her dad to step back in terms of coaching, a she wanted her mother to come along with her in upcoming professional matches as she wanted mix of boys and girls group will bring together collective energy on the table.

After winning French Open Women title, she became one of the youngest player at the age of 21 years old to win marquee event since Maria Sharapova at Wimbledon in 2004 and US Open 2006.

Gauff further concluded “I am dynamic personality and knows what I want from my life and I keep on saying and I always spoken my mind always.

Gauff being World number 2nd player, outclassed Sabalenka to win French Open Title.

 

 

Alcarez next beast in French Open: 

Alcarez literally won marathon, game where he defeated Yannik Sinner in 5 hour 29 minutes which became the longest final ever in the history of French Open. The Previous longest final was played for 4 hours and 47 minutes in 1982 which was won by Mats Wilander against Guillermo.

He is the eighth man in the Open Era (since 1968) and just third this century to defend his Roland Garros crown.

He is the third youngest man in history of French Open Men’s domain where he won title at the age of 22 years old where two players at the age of 21 years old and 22 years old  Rafael Nadal and Bjorn Borg to win this marquee event.

The Spainard game in those French Open shores is technically decoded on various factors which include- Whole new vibe of Sport, Muscular Frame and Expressive play -battled back from the brink.

His ability to cover courts makes it even more interesting for him.

Sinner certainly tried his best to make comeback from 2nd set onwards, and didn’t stop Alcarez to win French Open final.

Alcarez winning two back to back French Open men’s title made name for himself and he is certainly another successor to Rafael Nadal to break his 14 French Open trophy in times to come.

Sabalenka Refuses to Give Coco Credit for winning French Open Title:

Today it felt like she was hitting the ball brilliantly, I played some bad shots and she didn’t win today’s game today as she played well its just I made lot of mistakes.

I already will go somewhere and take some alcohol and try forgetting this loss.

However Gauff Disagrees I don’t agree with Sabalenka statement, as she didn’t played her best tennis eventually that helped me to win games in straight sets , however its always interesting and fascinating to come against player of his stature in the final.
