"It's significant, and it's clear that our country is going through a lot right now. Yes, I'm sure you all know. The 21-year-old Gauff has risen to the next level at Roland Garros in Paris since winning the 2023 US Open, winning her second career Grand Slam Gold Cup and becoming the first African-American to win the French Open since Serena Williams in 2015, hoping to inspire her compatriots who are still struggling with political turmoil. ”

Gauff burst into tears when he won, revealing that he didn't think he could stop the mighty Sabalenka from winning the title, "To be honest, I didn't think I could do it. In particular, in 2022, she broke into the French Open for the first time, and was shocked by Poland's "Queen of Clay" Swiatek, and now she finally realized her dream at the top of the Clay Grand Slam, which made her feel particularly deeply, "I lost here three years ago, and I have experienced a lot, and I am very happy to come back and win the most important victory." ”
