It's the second #GrandSlam title for the 21-year-old Gauff, who adds the 2023 #USOpen crown to her triumphs.

Gauff, who had split the previous 10 matches with Sabalenka, became the first American woman to win the French Open singles title since #SerenaWilliams in 2015, despite eight double faults and having trouble with her serve at times in the match that took two hours and 37 minutes.

The U.S. Department of Education sent a letter urging #ColumbiaUniversity's accreditor to rescind its century-old accreditation status, which the #IvyLeague school relies on to receive federal financial aid funding.
