Coco Gauff becomes first American woman in 31 years to achieve incredible French Open feat

Published

on

Coco Gauff made history on Friday after reaching the fourth round of the French Open by beating Dayana Yastremska.

Gauff looked in fine fettle as she beat the hard-hitting Yastremska in straight sets to book herself into the next round of the French Open.

That has seen the American reach the round of 16 – claiming an impressive record in the process.

It saw Gauff become the second American in the Open Era to reach four consecutive Women’s Singles R16s at Roland Garros before the age of 21.

The first woman to do it was Jennifer Capriati, who managed the feat from 1990 to 1993 – an astonishing 31 years ago.

It simply shows how accustomed to success Gauff has become at the French Open, a notoriously difficult Grand Slam for competitors from across the pond due to its clay surface.

But the 20-year-old cruised into the next round against Yastremska, who was sometimes guilty of unforced errors.

Nevertheless, the 30-seed still pulled off some remarkable shots but it was not enough as Gauff triumphed 6-2, 6-4.

Gauff has been in fine form recently, having won the US Open in 2023 and the semi-final of the Australian Open earlier this year.
