Gauff Reaches Fifth Straight French Open Quarterfinal

Coco Gauff has advanced to the French Open quarterfinals after a 6-0, 7-5 victory over Ekaterina Alexandrova, marking her fifth consecutive quarterfinal appearance at Roland Garros. Gauff continues her streak as the youngest American to reach at least the fourth round at seven straight Grand Slams. Madison Keys also reached the fourth round after a comeback win over Sofia Kenin, and eight American women made the fourth round for the first time this century. Gauff has received attention for her on-court dominance and her advocacy during Pride Month. The tournament has also benefited from increased US media coverage, which Gauff and others have praised. Gauff will next face the winner of the match between Keys and Hailey Baptiste in the quarterfinals.
