Drawing on the painful memory of her defeat three years ago in the French Open final gave Coco Gauff just the motivation she needed to win the clay-court tournament for the first time.

It was the first No. 1 vs. No. 2 final in Paris since 2013, when Serena Williams defeated Maria Sharapova, and just the second in the last 30 years.

Coco Gauff and Carlos Alcaraz are this year's French Open singles champions after taking home their respective final matches over the weekend at Stade Roland Garros. Gauff defeated world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka in three sets Saturday to claim the women's singles title and become the first American woman to win the French Open since Serena Williams did so in 2015.
