American tennis phenom Coco Gauff is *still* unbeatable at Roland-Garros this year! 🌟 The world No. 2 dominated Russia's Ekaterina Alexandrova 6-0, 7-5 in Monday's French Open round of 16, securing her fifth straight quarterfinal berth at the Paris major. Talk about a clay-court queen! 👑
Gauff, 21, blitzed through the first set like she had a dinner reservation 🍝, breaking Alexandrova's serve three times. Though the Russian fought back in the second set, the 2023 US Open champ locked in to seal the deal in 82 minutes. 💪
"It feels great to be back in the quarters… really happy with how I played today," said Gauff, who’s now tied with Ukraine’s Elina Svitolina for most WTA clay-court wins this season (15!). But she’s hungry for more: After finishing runner-up in Madrid and Rome last month, she’s eyeing redemption in Paris. 🏆
Pro tip from the rising star? "Keep fighting for every point—anything can happen." 🎯 With her mix of power and grit, Gauff’s proving she’s here to stay. Next up: A quarterfinal clash that could rewrite her clay-court legacy. ⏳
