PARIS (AP) — The biggest difference Coco Gauff sees between the player who lost her first Grand Slam final at the 2022 French Open at age 18, and the one who will play for the trophy again on Saturday at 21, this time against No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka, is the way she views the importance of the occasion.

Aryna Sabalenka kept it as respectful as possible following her big French Open win over Iga Swiatek as the Belarusian thought both played at a very high level, with the only difference being that the Pole may have lost her a confidence a bit when it mattered the most.

ROLAND GARROS, PARIS — In arguably the most anticipated women’s tennis match of the decade, Aryna Sabalenka defeated Iga Świątek Thursday to reach her first French Open final.
