Top seed Coco Gauff (2) has booked her in place in the 2025 French Open semifinals after a three-sets win (6-7, 6-4, 6-1) against Madison Keys (7).
It was a contest filled with plenty of mistakes by both Americans, who each has claimed one major championship. They combined for 101 unforced errors and just 40 winners across more than two hours under a closed roof at Court Philippe-Chatrier on a drizzly, chilly day.
The No. 2-seeded Gauff won the 2023 U.S. Open and was the runner-up at the 2022 French Open.
Gauff will face the winner of the last quarter-final between Mirra Andreeva and world number 361 Lois Boisson for a place in her second French Open final on Thursday.
“It means a lot, especially getting through this tough match today, it wasn’t an easy match and I’m very happy to get through it,” she said.
“I’m so excited to be in the semi-finals back here again and have a lot more work to do. Just savour this one today and then next one tomorrow.”
