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.
