American tennis player Coco Gauff won her second major title at the French Open, a trophy she had wanted for a long time. Gauff defeated top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka, inspired by Olympic champion Gabby Thomas's practice of writing positive affirmations. Gauff adopted this approach, writing down multiple times that she would be the French Open champion before the final. Despite being the underdog, Gauff remained calm and focused during the match, while Sabalenka struggled to control her emotions. Gauff has found it helpful to express her emotions before games, which allows her to stay composed during matches. After her victory, Gauff plans to play in the grass-court season and might participate in a tournament in Berlin before heading to Wimbledon.
