    Spain's Marcel Granollers and Argentina's Horacio Zeballos are no strangers to the latter stages of the French Open, having reached the semi-finals in the men's doubles in each of the past three years.

    The fifth seeds have gone one better this year - getting all the way to the final - as they seek a first Grand Slam title.

    They first played together at the Rogers Cup in 2019, beating Dutch duo Robin Haase and Wesley Koolhof in the final, and have reached three Grand Slam finals - two at Wimbledon and one at the US Open.

    Another year has ed by without a British winner in the men's or women's singles at the French Open, but there is still hope of success in the men's doubles.

    British pair Joe Salisbury and Neal Skupski meet Spain's Marcel Granollers and Argentina's Horacio Zeballos on Court Philippe Chatrier next.

    The eighth seeds paired up at the start of the season and this is the first time either of them has gone beyond the quarter-finals in the men's doubles in Paris.

    Sabalenka 7-6 (7-5) 2-6 4-6 Gauff

    Here's a startling stat that demonstrates what happened to Aryna Sabalenka, who fell off her ridiculous first-set level quite dramatically over the final two sets.

    She sured the highest tally of unforced errors in a women's singles main draw match at the 2025 French Open with her 61st against Coco Gauff, and ended the match with a total of 70.

    But, interestingly, she actually made more in the first set (32) than in the second and third (both 19). She really does play all-or-nothing tennis, and it almost always makes for a brilliant watch.

    Sabalenka 7-6 (7-5) 2-6 4-6 Gauff

    Coco Gauff has become the first player to win a women's singles Grand Slam final against the reigning world number one after losing the first set since Venus Williams did so against Lindsay Davenport at Wimbledon 20 years ago.

    She's also the first to pull that feat off at Roland Garros since Steffi Graf against Martina Hingis in 1999.

    Coco Gauff sticks around on the court to lap up the remaining adoration, but her first attempt to film a video with her trophy is halted when the lid comes off and falls to the clay.

    Someone kindly picks it up for her and she can recommence her TikTok duties. Oops.

    More from Coco Gauff, reflecting on her final defeat three years ago - and what was a brilliant battle with Aryna Sabalenka this time around:

    "I was going through a lot of things when I lost this final three years ago, so it means a lot to be back and here and to win.

    "Aryna, you are a fighter, you're the number one player in the world and I know today was a tough match but hopefully we will get to play again in the future."

  9. 'Merci beaucoup'published at 17:40 British Summer Time 7 June

    French Open champion Coco Gauff, speaking after receiving her trophy: "I want to thank my team. You are always pushing me. I know sometimes I'm not easy to work with, but thank you for everything you do. I appreciate you guys.

    "I also want to thank my parents - from washing my clothes to keeping me grounded you always believe in me. You guys are the reason I do this and inspire me more than anything.

    "I want to thank the crowd too. You really helped me today, you were cheering so hard and I don't know what I do to deserve so much love from the French crowd but Merci beaucoup.

    "I didn't think I could do it but I'm going to quote Tyler, The Creator who said 'If I ever told you i had a doubt inside me, I must be lying'. I'll leave you with that."

    Aryna Sabalenka, with tears in her eyes, is called up to receive her runner-up trophy on Court Philippe Chatrier.

    Aryna Sabalenka put the towel over her head, she doesn't want to watch the montage that is up on the screen.

    It is all a bit too much for her right now. You really have to feel for her. You can see her shoulders going and her fingers, through the towel, are over her eyes.

    She is also the youngest player to win women’s singles Grand Slam titles on multiple surfaces since Maria Sharapova did so at Wimbledon 2004 and US Open 2006.

    Before the trophy presentation starts, Marc Maury - the voice of Roland Garros - instructs everyone to look at the big screen for a highlights reel of the women's tournament.

    Aryna Sabalenka elects not to.

    Instead she covers her head with a towel.
