19:10On court: men's doubles final
The finals keep coming and next up on Chatrier we've got the men's doubles final to enjoy - Brits Joe Salisbury and Neal Skupski up against Spanish-Argentine team Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos.
Salisbury goes for his fifth Grand Slam men's doubles title, and Skupski his second - it would be their first together.
Granollers and Zeballos are both hoping to win their maiden major men's doubles trophy - this is their fourth Grand Slam final together and for Granollers it's a sixth final at this level without a trophy. Can the Spaniard break his duck today?

Join Gigi Salmon and former top 10 star Daniela Hantuchova right now as they break down today's women’s singles final won by world No.2 Coco Gauff.
18:25Coco's moment of victory
18:06Coco Gauff is the CHAMPION
Young American Coco Gauff wins her first Roland-Garros title by shocking world No.1 Aryna Sabalenka in a gripping three-set women’s final on Court Philippe-Chatrier.
The 21-year-old recovers from losing a dramatic 78-minute first set on a tiebreak to win 6-7(5), 6-2, 6-4 in two hours and 38 minutes for the second major trophy of her career.
Gauff adds a first Roland-Garros title to her US Open success from 2023.
The world No.2 is the first American to win the Roland Garros singles title since Serena Williams in 2015, and the youngest American since Serena Williams in 2002.
17:45Back comes Sabalenka
After Gauff moves into a 3-1 lead in this deciding set, Sabalenka appears slightly calmer all of a sudden and it seems to help as she scrambles back to 3-3. To add to the drama, there's the threat of rain and everyone's wondering how long it might be until we have to close the Chatrier roof. It's all happening and it's still impossible to call this one.
17:30Gauff breaks for 2-1 third set
Game three of the decider features the point of the match so far which ends with a perfect Sabalenka tweener followed by a Gauff winning forehand volley. Chatrier goes wild. The American quickly builds on that moment of brilliance to strike first in the third as she breaks for a 2-1 lead.

What a response from the 21-year-old who is fully locked in after two sets played. She missed a game point chance to hold for 5-1 before dropping serve again, but in the end it didn't make any difference as she swept through the remainder of the set. It's taken her just 32 minutes to level the match and has to be favourite to win this now...
©Corinne Dubreuil / FFT 17:07Gauff up 4-1 second set
It's Coco Gauff's turn to show her mental strength as she quickly moves on from the disappointment of blowing a 5-3 lead in the breaker to dominate the early stages of the second set. The American breaks in the first game and builds on that to engineer a 4-1 double break lead.
17:00VIPs loving it...
16:45First set Sabalenka 7-6(5)
What a set - 78 minutes of pure, nerve-jangling drama.
Having watched her 4-1 lead disappear - as well as two sets points on serve at 5-4 - the top seed shows her mental strength to survive a tense tiebreak 7-5.
Gauff led 4-1 and 5-3 in the shootout before Sabalenka kicked into gear, producing two superb points from 5-5 to finally finish off the opener with a short volley on her third set point.

What a passage of play, this is turning into a great final. Sabalenka breaks again to go up 5-4 and then has two set points during a 13-minute service game but still can't finish off the set. Gauff hangs tough, somehow breaks again by playing the slightly safer tennis of the two in the wind and on we go... it's 5-5 first set.
©Clément Mahoudeau / FFT 16:05Gauff recovers to 4-4 first set
What a turnaround... After Sabalenka led 4-1 40-0 on serve, Gauff has somehow clawed her way back into this first set to level at 4-4. The world No.1 threw in two double faults from 40-0 in that sixth game and has lost her radar since, errors starting to creep into her game in the breeze. Sabalenka is looking more frustrated by the minute.

The top seed quickly holds for 3-1 and despite initially missing three break points on Gauff's serve to go up 4-1, she converts the next opportunity by hammering a forehand return winner off a Gauff serve for a double break. It's all Sabalenka so far, up 4-1 first set...
©Corinne Dubreuil / FFT 15:35Sabalenka breaks for 2-1
Aryna Sabalenka is the first to make a move in breezy conditions with the Chatrier roof open. The world No.1 breaks Gauff to love in the third game for a 2-1 lead in the opening set.
15:20Live: Sabalenka vs Gauff
A spectacular pre-final show comes to a conclusion and it's showtime on Court Philippe-Chatrier as the spotlight falls on the women's singles final. The top two players in the world - Aryna Sabalenka and Coco Gauff - are ready to battle for a first Roland-Garros title. We'll have a brand new women's champion in two or three hours' time...

Japanese world No.1 Tokito Oda completes a Paris ‘three-peat’ in the men’s wheelchair singles final with a 6-4, 7-6(6) victory over British second seed Alfie Hewett on Court Suzanne-Lenglen.
The 19-year-old adds to his Roland-Garros titles in 2023 and 2024 to claim his fifth major singles trophy as a teenager. His other Grand Slam wins came at Wimbledon in 2023 and at the 2024 Australian Open.
Oda becomes the third player to win the men’s wheelchair singles title in Paris on three or more occasions after three-time winner Hewett and eight-time champion and fellow-Japanese Shingo Kunieda.
14:40Henin to present trophy
Four-time RG champion Justine Henin will present the Coupe Suzanne-Lenglen on court to the women’s champion later today. The Belgian - who lifted the trophy here in 2003, 2005, 2006 and 2007 - will be joined on court by FFT president Gilles Moretton and tournament director Amélie Mauresmo. Men's Paris champion in 1999 Andre Agassi will present the Coupe des Mousquetaires trophy to the winner on Sunday.
14:15Sabalenka-Gauff countdown...
A reminder that the women's final will be under way in 45 minutes on Court Philippe-Chatrier. Join the Radio Roland-Garros team courtside for ball-by-ball live coverage from 3pm sharp. We'll be across all the major twists and turns from that final here on the live blog too of course...
14:00Sasson takes the Quad singles
Guy Sasson is the latest Roland-Garros champion as the Israeli beats top-seeded Dutchman Niels Vink 6-4, 7-5 in the Quad Wheelchair Singles final on Court 14.
13:40Tagger crowned girls' champion
Lilli Tagger completes a perfect stay in Paris to outplay Britain’s Hannah Klugman 6-2, 6-0 to win the girls’ singles title on Court Simonne-Mathieu.
The 17-year-old becomes the first Austrian to win a Roland-Garros junior singles title - even greats Thomas Muster and Dominic Thiem didn’t manage that achievement as a youngster.
The junior world No.47 didn't drop a set through the draw, a run that included victories over four junior top 20 players.
Tagger recently beat Lois Boisson in a professional event, a few weeks before the Frenchwoman went on to reach the semifinals of the women's singles here as a wild card.

13:27And there's dancing...
In advance of the women's final at 3pm, fans on Court Philippe-Chatrier will be treated to a showstopping orchestral performance featuring 17 musicians accompanied by 28 dancers creating a 'kaleidoscope of geometric shapes'.
13:12Rapid recap of Day 13
Friday served up two men’s singles semi-finals, a host of other semi-finals and six trophies.
First up on Court Philippe-Chatrier, Lorenzo Musetti took to the court to try to get past Carlos Alcaraz. Having dropped the first set, Alcaraz pulled back before Musetti was forced to retire in the fourth due to a leg injury.
Chris Oddo was there and can fill us in.
After that was the much-anticipated matchup between No.1 seed Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic, who is on the hunt for a record 25th Grand Slam title. It was not to be in Paris though, with Sinner outfoxing the Serbian over straight sets.
Alex Sharp won the fight in the office to cover that one.
The silverware was brought out in six wheelchair events: the boys’ and girls’ singles and doubles, the quad wheelchair doubles and the women’s doubles. Kate Clark kept an eye on them all.
As always, Lee Goodall got across all the action on Friday and distilled it into his brillliant Daily Wrap.
Watch the Daily Highlights and Best Moments by Emirates, and check out this amazing playmaking from Novak Djokovic in the Shot of the Day.
12:42Wawrinka shows his style
Ten years ago today, Stan Wawrinka played what has become one of the iconic Roland-Garros men's singles finals, beating Novak Djokovic over four sets to take the title.
There were many talking points from that match in 2015: Wawrinka's sublime play, the three-minute standing ovation the crowd gave to Djokovic... and Stan's shorts.
Reem Abulleil takes us back a decade to jog our memories of that day.

Double Paralympic champion from Paris 2024 Yui Kamiji has won the Roland-Garros women's wheelchair singles title with a 6-2, 6-2 victory over the Netherlands' Aniek Van Koot on Court Suzanne-Lenglen.
This is Kamiji's fifth RG singles trophy, which she adds to her other nine Slam singles titles and 22 doubles titles, including the women's doubles she won on Friday alongside Kgothatso Montjane.
11:27Finals already under way
As we’ve mentioned, it’s women’s final day, but there are actually nine other finals at Roland-Garros on Saturday.
Here’s what to expect:
After the women's singles final on Court Philippe-Chatrier, fifth seeds Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos will meet British No.8 seeds Joe Salisbury and Neal Skupski in the men's doubles final.
The women’s wheelchair singles final has just begun on Court Suzanne-Lenglen. No.1 seed Yui Kamiji is up against No.2 seed Aniek Van Koot, who is looking to secure the one Grand Slam trophy that has so far eluded her.
The juniors take over Court Simonne-Mathieu on Saturday. First up it’s the girls' singles final, when Austria’s Lilli Tagger meets British No.8 seed Hannah Klugman. The boys are on after that for an all-German singles final as 17-year-old Niels McDonald faces compatriot Max Schoenhaus.
Third on is another German pair - Eva Bennemann and Sonja Zhenikhova over the net from Czech sisters Alena and Jana Kovackova in the girls’ doubles final.
The boys' doubles are over on Court 6, starting at 12:00 - the all-American pairing of Noah Johnston and Benjamin Willwerth face No.2 seeds Oskari Paldanius and Alan Wazny.
Roland-Garros’ famous Court 14 plays host to two wheelchair doubles finals. At 11:00 No.1 seed Niels Vink is up against his doubles partner Guy Sasson in the final of the quad singles. After that, two greats of wheelchair tennis take to the court: No.1 seed Tokito Oda meets No.2 seed Alfie Hewett in the men’s wheelchair singles final.
And to round off the day, at 16:00 Hewett and partner Gordon Reid, chasing their sixth consecutive Roland-Garros men’s wheelchair doubles title, will face Oda alongside the experienced Frenchman Stephane Houdet
Welcome back
It’s women’s final day!
It’s been a thrilling journey, but we’re very nearly there.
The action starts at 3pm on Court Philippe-Chatrier as No.1 seed Aryna Sabalenka meets No.2 seed Coco Gauff.
To have the top seedings bearing out all the way to the final is rarer than you’d think - the last time it happened in the women’s singles final of a Grand Slam was back in 2018 at the Australian Open.
Alix Ramsay looks ahead to today’s big match.
Dan Imhoff and Alex Sharp chatted to some of the people closest to the players - their coaches.
Dan caught up with Anton Dubrov, who has worked with Sabalenka since 2020. And Sharpy tracked down Gauff’s coach Jean-Christophe Faurel. It was enlightening.
And here's a piece from the stat-loving Chris Oddo, who takes a look at the numbers around today's women's singles final.
