Ten incredible things Coco Gauff achieved by winning Roland Garros

• Having won the girls’ title in 2018, she’s now the only active women’s player to win both the junior and professional titles at Roland Garros. And just the second active player—male or female—to do it, after Stan Wawrinka, who won the boys’ title in 2003 and the men’s title in 2015.
• And finally, she expanded her lead at No. 2 on the WTA rankings—by a lot. She went into Roland Garros with a 620-point lead over No. 3 Jessica Pegula (6,863 to 6,243), but she’s now a more robust 1,600 points ahead of her countrywoman, 8,083 to 6,483.

Catching Sabalenka at No. 1 is another story though, as Gauff only trimmed a 3,820-point gap (10,683 to 6,863) to 3,470 points (11,553 to 8,083). And with Sabalenka having missed Wimbledon last year due to a shoulder injury, she’ll only be adding points there this year.

Of course, Gauff can add points at the All England Club herself. She reached the round of 16 there in 2024—the third time she did so in her career—and has plenty of momentum heading into Wimbledon.
