Gauff knocked off Sabalenka in a shocking upset in the 2023 U.S. Open final 2-6, 6-3, 6-2. This is Gauff’s first final since her triumph in New York. The 21-year-old did make a French Open final back in 2022, when she lost in straight sets to Świątek.

Their head-to-head series is tied 5-5 entering the first No. 1 vs. No. 2 matchup in a French Open women’s final since Serena Williams beat Maria Sharapova in 2023.

The story of the 2025 French Open on the women's side has been Lois Boisson, as the wild card entered the tournament ranked 362nd in the world but has gone on a storybook run to become the first French woman since Marion Bartoli to reach the semifinals at Roland-Garros.

Coco Gauff will look to become the first American woman to win the French Open final since Serena Williams in 2013.

In the first match of the day, No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka will take on No. 5 Iga Świątek in pursuit of a trip to the final. Świątek is seeking her fourth consecutive win of the women's singles event at the French Open (and fifth overall). She defeated No. 13 Elina Svitolina 6-1, 7-5 in the quarterfinals.
