On Friday, June 23rd, 2023, Coco Gauff made history when she won the French Open after a lengthy match against her opponent, Carlos Alcaraz. The match lasted four hours and thirty minutes, with Gauff finally emerging victorious. This is the first time in history that a 15-year-old has won the French Open.
Gauff’s victory was met with cheers from the crowd and admiration from fellow players. She was congratulated by Rafael Nadal, who was the last person to win the French Open in 2019. Nadal said, “Coco is a great player and I am so proud of her. She has worked hard and deserves this victory.”
Gauff’s win was especially impressive given that she had to face off against Alcaraz, who is ranked number two in the world. Alcaraz had been on a winning streak for the past few months and was considered a favorite to win the tournament. However, Gauff managed to outplay him with her powerful serves and consistent groundstrokes.
The match between Gauff and Alcaraz was not the only one to take place on Friday. Novak Djokovic and Dominic Thiem also competed in the semi-finals of the French Open. Djokovic won the match in three sets, setting up a final showdown with Gauff on Sunday.
The final match between Gauff and Djokovic is sure to be an exciting one. Both players have been playing at a high level throughout the tournament and are considered to be two of the best players in the world. It will be interesting to see who comes out on top and takes home the title of French Open champion.
No matter who wins the match, it is clear that Coco Gauff has made history. Her victory over Alcaraz proves that she is a force to be reckoned with and that she has what it takes to be a champion. It will be exciting to see what she can do in the future.
