Gauff through to French Open fourth round

SPORTS 31.05.2025

Second seed Coco Gauff booked her ticket to the French Open last 16 on Saturday with a straight-sets win over Czech Marie Bouzkova.

Text size:

The 21-year-old won through 6-1, 7-6 (7/3) against the world number 47 and next plays Ekaterina Alexandrova, the 20th seed, who beat fellow Russian Veronika Kudermetova 6-2, 6-2.

Gauff -- the 2022 Roland Garros runner-up -- warmed up for Paris with runs to the finals of the clay court tournaments in Madrid and Rome.

The American held off Bouzkova, who had gotten the upper hand in their two previous clashes in Cincinatti in 2022 and Rome in 2023.

Having dominated the first set, the 2023 US Open champion trailed in the second set but managed to erase her break deficit, coming back from 5-3 down to 5-5 before winning the tiebreak comfortably.
