Aryna Sabalenka, the 27 years old, from Belarus, and the World No. 1. She is the three-time Grand Slam champion for 2023, the 2024 Australian Open, and the 2024 US Open. She is notorious for her serve and forehand. She currently stands at 30-7 for 2025, with titles at Brisbane, Miami, and Madrid. At Roland Garros, she has reached her first final, conceding one set in the process. Her semifinal victory over Iga Swiatek (7-6(7-1), 4-6, 6-0) was a drunken cirrus in the wind:36 winners, 18 unforced errors, and conversions on break points of 5/8. Her clay record in 2025 is outstanding: 18-2, 83.5% in service games won, and 38.7% return games won (72/186). After beating Swiatek, she told TNT, "Winning against Iga 6-love on clay, it's like something out of mind... but the job's not done." X fans hail her roar of power, but the aforementioned 20-17 showing in title matches indicates gallic nerves at times. Wins like her Madrid performance against Gauff (6-4, 6-2) only add to the confidence, but losing in the Rome quarterfinals against Zheng Qinwen (6-4, 6-3) might have opened up some vulnerabilities. Sabalenka declared, “This trophy would mean the world,” while highlighting her blossoming on clay.
🇺🇸 Coco Gauff: form and statistics
American 21-year-old Coco Gauff at No.2 has one Grand Slam so far (2023 US Open) in her résumé, renowned for speed, defense, and mental toughness. She stands at 12-3 for the 2025 clay season, having been runner-up in Madrid and Rome. She has qualified for a second Roland Garros final, in 2025, having been the runner-up also in 2022 to Iga Swiatek, losing a single set since then. In the semifinal, she crushed Lois Boisson in 69 minutes, 6-1, 6-2, hitting 24 winners to nine unforced errors and converting six of eight break-point opportunities. These 2025 clay numbers are Gauff's best-with 81.2% of her service games won, and 40.1% on break points (66 out of 165). After the match versus Boisson, Gauff said to Sky Sports, "I knew a strong start was key... Lois proved she's one of the best, but I'm ready for Saturday." The X platform are praising her electric pace-although some worry about the 41 unforced errors against Madison Keys in the quarters. According to The Athletic, her new IMG venture aims to build an empire similar to that of Serena, and another Slam is certainly going to put a big stamp on her brand. That 2023 US Open win over Sabalenka still gives Gauff confidence, but she does feel the sting from the Madrid loss.
