Coco Gauff said a maiden French Open trophy was “one I really wanted” after securing the title with win over Aryna Sabalenka on Saturday. 

The 21-year-old secured a hard-fought 6-7 (5/7), 6-2, 6-4 win over the World No. 1 in difficult, windy conditions at Roland Garros. “I felt like this is one I really wanted, because I do think this was one of the tournaments that when I was younger that I felt I had the best shot of winning,” said American star Gauff. 

“So I just felt like if I went through my career and didn’t get at least one of these, I would feel regrets and stuff.
