The GIST: For the first time since 1984, the world No. 1 and No. 2 women’s and men’s tennis players reached the Roland-Garros final — and in both cases, the second-ranked athlete prevailed. Here’s how it all went down in Paris.

💪 Coco Gauff defeats Aryna Sabalenka, wins second career major: The TikTok queen pulled off an astounding comeback on Saturday, staying calm, cool, and collected while capitalizing on Sabalenka’s 70 unforced errors to win the match in three sets.

  • And amid some eyebrow-raising comments, Gauff’s victory only heightens the growing rivalry between two of the game’s stars. Notably, both of the 21-year-old American’s Grand Slam victories have come against Sabalenka.

😱 Reigning champ Carlos Alcaraz rallies, tops Jannik Sinner in longest-ever French Open final: Five hours and 29 minutes of edge-of-your-seat play later, Alcaraz fell to the red clay in triumph after defending his Roland-Garros title yesterday.

  • The match was an instant classic, seeing the Spaniard drop the first two sets before rallying to clinch his fifth career Grand Slam. Simply magnifique.
