Gauff, 21, said she was proud to bring positivity during a period where ‘a lot is going on in our country right now’

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 said she is "still in shock" after completing a three-set comeback against world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka to win her first French Open title.
