Tennis star Coco Gauff has suffered defeat in the Mutua Madrid Open 2025 final. The USA stalwart faltered against eventual winner Aryna Sabalenka. Despite this final loss, the star player was ecstatic after making her comeback. She has not been able to win the big matches in the recent WTA tours, but her final appearance sent a shocked wave to the tennis fraternity ahead of the French Open 2025.
Gauff has defeated world number two and five-time Grand Slam winner Iga Swiatek in the semi-finals to storm into the final showdown. The 21-year-old star suffered defeat in the quarter-finals in the Stuttgart Open while crashing out in the Round of 16 in Indian Wells and the Miami Open. She even failed to mark her impression in the Australian Open 2025 after star player Paula Badosa defeated her in the last eight rounds. However, her stellar performance on the clay court swing allowed her to storm into the finals here.

“I’d like to thank my lord and savior Jesus Christ, to be here and the opportunity to play in the final. I’d like to congratulate Aryna on an incredible tournament. You’re always tough to face. Congrats to your team. The last.. well you’re always doing well.. but the last 4 straight finals I think. Congrats on all the success you’ve been having," Coco Gauff said after the loss.
