Paris | Newly crowned French Open champion Coco Gauff, the first black American to win the title in a decade, said on Saturday (Sunday AEST) that her victory in Paris was for people back home who looked like her and struggled amid ongoing political turmoil.
Gauff battled from a set down to beat Aryna Sabalenka 6-7(5) 6-2 6-4 and lift her first French Open crown and her second Grand Slam title after the 2023 US Open.
