If you wanted to know what a tennis Super Bowl would feel like, you saw it happen on Saturday as Aryna Sabalenka and Coco Gauff faced off in the French Open Finals The first set was very grueling for Gauff as she started off slow and had to win a couple of games to make it a tight and gritty in the 10th game.
