Unlike some of her counterparts in the top 10, Coco Gough had no trouble solving the mystery of Lois Boisson.
No. 2 seed Gauff dismantled previously unknown French Women 6-1, 6-2 on Thursday, reaching her second French Open Final. Gouf faces Aryna Sabalenka, a player who lost in 2023 and won the US Open on Saturday.
Her level of play swayed between sharp and sloppy throughout the tournament, but Goff was mainly dialed against Boisson. He recently captivated the Parisian crowd by knocking off third Jessica Pegra and number 6 Mira Andreva to reach the semi-finals with the grand slam single Debutto.
However, Boisson, ranked 361st in the world when France opened, appeared to be lacking in gas against the Gouf, who limited her errors and mercilessly targeted the volatile Boisson backhand. Boisson was able to easily return to serve on the second set, offering a faint hope to the French fans, but Gauff quickly ended the drama with another break and sprinted to the finish line.
Gouf hunted the French open title after arriving on the tour, reaching the final last year in 2022, losing to four-time champion Iga Swiatek in both cases.
This time, the 21-year-old from Delray Beach, Florida, doesn’t have to face Swiatek, but Sabalenka is still as challenging as it has recently been.
Sabalenka fled Swiatek in the other semifinals, 7-6, 4-6, 6-0, entering her first French final. Sabalenka is about to win the fourth major and joins two Australian and one US titles.
Gauff and Sabalenka split up 10 career meetings. Most recently, Sabalenka scored a 6-3, 7-6 victory in the Madrid final at Clay. Gouf defeated Sabalenka 7-6, 6-3 last fall in the WTA Final Championship match on the hard court.
