How much did Coco Gauff, Aryna Sabalenka and others win in prize money at French Open 2025?

Gauff beat World No. 1 Sabalenka to lift her maiden French Open title.

The Roland Garros final in women’s singles has a history of serving up classics, and guess what? It did it again, but, after two hours and 38 minutes of intense tennis, which was marked by swirling winds and intense pressure, it was Coco Gauff who found a way past Aryna Sabalenka in a match that ebbed and flowed. Let’s break it down.

Sabalenka did what Sabalenka does from the start: she started strong and came out swinging and won four games in the first set, taking a 4-1 lead, but despite that advantage, she couldn’t close it out that smoothly, as Gauff persevered as always.

While Sabalenka eventually won the first set in a tiebreak with impressive shot-making, including a remarkable drop shot and volley combo, she began to tire in the second set.

Gauff saw that opportunity and ultimately won the second set in just 41 minutes with strong defense and an improved forehand.

The 21-year-old American also dominated Sabalenka’s second serve while controlling the rallies with her topspin. While Sabalenka showed some revivals in the final set when she broke Gauff, the American got her back when she broke the Belarusian at 4-4 before closing out the match like a seasoned pro.

With that, the American claimed the Coupe Suzanne Lenglen with a score of 6-7(5), 6-2, 6-4.

This victory delivered Gauff her second Grand Slam title, following her 2023 US Open win, where she also overcame Sabalenka.

She also became the first American to win the Roland Garros trophy since Serena Williams in 2015 and the youngest to do so since Serena’s first title here in 2002.

French Open 2025 points breakdown

When the French Open ends, so do hopes, or gains, for many players in the WTA Rankings. Grand Slam winners get 2,000 points, but only if they didn’t already earn big at the same event last year.

If they did, points are deducted. That’s what happened to Iga Swiatek, who was the defending champion, but after losing in the 2025 semi-finals, she dropped 1,220 points (780 gained, 2,000 lost) and fell to World No. 7.

Coco Gauff, who lost in the semis in 2024, goes home with a positive swing of 1,220 points and moves to No. 2 with 8,083 points.

Aryna Sabalenka, who exited in the 2024 quarters, now adds 870 points and keeps her No. 1 spot with 11,553 points.

Meanwhile, wildcard Lois Boisson, who didn’t play last year, earned 780 points. She jumps from outside the top 350 to a projected rank of No. 65, one of the biggest moves of the event.
