Coco Gauff targets first French Open win after 2023 heartbreak

  • Coco Gauff says she has learned from her previous French Open final experience as she prepares for another shot at the title.
  • In the 2023 Paris final, Gauff was defeated by Iga Swiatek, but now feels better prepared to win her first Roland Garros title, adding to her US Open victory two years ago.
  • Gauff acknowledges feeling extremely nervous during her first final but now has more confidence from playing in a Grand Slam final before.
  • Gauff's opponent is Aryna Sabalenka, who recently took over from Swiatek as world number one, and is also seeking her first Roland Garros title.
  • Sabalenka stated her readiness to fight and bring her best tennis to win the title.
