In a tumultuous French Open women's singles final, American Gauff defeated world No.1 Sabalenka 6-7(5) 6-2 6-4 to lift Roland Garros' Women's Singles title for the first time in her career, her second Grand Slam singles title since the 2023 US Open.
Each win has multiple implications, and Gauff's victory made her the first American to win the French Open since Serena Williams in 2015 and the youngest to win the French Open since 2002.
At the same time, Gauff's current two Grand Slam trophies have also allowed her to tie Li Na, Muguruza, Halep, Mauresmo, Kuznetsova, Pierce, Austin and other celebrities to become a member of the "Second Grand Slam Club", so how many Grand Slam championship trophies can be ranked among active players?
No.1 Williams
7 seats
Serena Williams, who was born on June 17, 1980, is about to celebrate her 45th birthday this month, and although she has long lost some competitiveness in the fiercely competitive tour stage, there is no clear news of Serena Williams' retirement.
The last time the American veteran appeared on the court was at last year's Miami Open, where he lost to Schneider 3-6 in the first round. Serena Williams last won on the Tour stage in Cincinnati 2023 (beating Kudermetova in the first round and Zheng Qinwen in the second round).
No.2 Swiatek
5 seats
For former world No.1 Swiatek, the tour has been a bit rough for the past year, with the Polish star having been out of title drought for a year after losing in the semi-finals of the French Open.
Of course, she was born in 2001 and still has a long career ahead of her, and she believes that she will be able to win a Grand Slam title in the future.
No.3 Naomi Osaka
4 seats
Naomi Osaka was once regarded as the absolute leader of the WTA, having reached all four Grand Slam women's singles finals and was extremely competitive in terms of both technique and physical fitness.
Sadly, she briefly absenced from the Tour stage in 2023 and ushered in a new identity - giving birth to her daughter on July 12, 2023, becoming a mother. After returning to the circle, Naomi Osaka is still a considerable distance from her former peak.
No.4 Sabalenka
3 seats
Sabalenka has won two consecutive Grand Slam runners-up titles this season. Of course, reaching the Women's Singles final at the French Open proved that she is not only dominant on hard courts, but also a strong contender for the title on clay.
After Sabalenka, the two Grand Slam winners among the active women's players are Gauff, Azarenka, Kvitova, and Krecikova; The first slam winners are Wozniacki, Rybakina, Raducanu, Ostapenko, Kenin, Stephens, Andreescu, Vondrousova and Case.
So rational analysis, how many Grand Slam titles do you think Gauff will be able to win in the end?(Source: Tennis House Author: Barbie)
