Gauff Shows Stellar Form Heading into French Open

Coco Gauff is making waves during the spring clay-court season, stringing together impressive performances that have fans and pundits buzzing about her prospects at the upcoming French Open. The 21-year-old American’s run in Rome has been particularly noteworthy, including a dominant 6-1, 6-2 win over Emma Raducanu in the round of 16.

“Even in the quarters, it’s a long way to that trophy. Just take it match by match and try to improve with each match. I think looking too far ahead can kind of be more of a curse than a blessing.”

A dedicated member of the BeyHive, Gauff has been vocal about her love for Beyoncé’s music. She even joked about offering tennis lessons to the singer’s daughters in exchange for a meet-and-greet.
