Coco Gauff, the No.3 seed, has advanced to the semi-finals of the French Open after defeating Ons Jabeur in a three-set match, 4-6, 6-2, 6-3. Despite losing her first set of the tournament, Gauff's trademark defense helped her recover. This victory marks Gauff's second career semi-final at Roland Garros and her fourth Grand Slam semi-final overall at the age of 20. She is the youngest player to reach three or more consecutive Women’s Singles semi-finals at Grand Slam events since Maria Sharapova. Gauff has also claimed 20+ Women’s Singles match wins at Roland Garros before turning 21, a feat achieved only by her potential next opponent, Iga Swiatek. Additionally, Gauff is the third American in the Open Era to reach multiple Women’s Singles semi-finals at Roland Garros before the age of 21, joining Chris Evert and Andrea Jaeger. Gauff will face either Iga Swiatek or Marketa Vondrousova in the next round.
