Coco Gauff is back in the semifinals at Roland-Garros. The world No. 2 American battled against her compatriot Madison Keys but ultimately found the solution to prevail in three sets (6-7, 6-4, 6-1 in 2h11) despite 15 winners and, more notably, 41 unforced errors.

A finalist in 2022, the 21-year-old will face Mirra Andreeva or Loïs Boisson for a spot in the final. On the court after her victory, Gauff analyzed her win, having lost her first set of the tournament during this all-American clash.

"I changed something at 4-1 in the first set. I tried to play longer balls, to be more aggressive. I fought for every point. Madison (Keys) has one of the best forehands on tour, if not the best, so I did my best to keep her on the other side of the court.

"As soon as there were slightly shorter balls to play, I tried to take advantage. It means a lot to me to have won today. It was a tough match, and I’m really happy to have pulled through, to be back in the semifinals.

"I still have a lot of work to do, but I’ll savor this victory," Gauff concluded for Roland-Garros media shortly after her win against the Australian Open champion.

The impact of the war on tennis in Ukraine: financial aid, foundations, governing bodies and all‑round headaches

Adrien Guyot 29/11/2025 à 09h08

Since February 2022 and the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, Ukrainian sport has been heavily affected by human, structural and economic losses. Tennis has, of course, not been spared. While Ukrainian athletes have had to rethink their entire organization, an entire country, behind the scenes, has had to adapt and change its training conditions. This extends all the way to the highest level, where professional players have spoken out, trying as best they can to help their nation.

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Chwalinska and Huergo at the Quito tournament? The match was played to completion and on time. If TT feels the match is one sided, and of course it was, then don't put it up for prediction. This is getting irritating.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?

Steffi Graf completed a Golden Slam (not just a career Grand Slam) when she was 19. She is the only person to accomplish that, winning the four majors plus Olympic gold the same calendar year.
