Coco Gauff joins Serena Williams, Iga Swiatek and forgotten French Open champion in rarefied air after latest incredible Roland Garros feat
The young phenom raced into her fourth straight Roland Garros quarterfinal with a 6-1, 6-2 win against Elisabetta Cocciaretto on Court Philippe-Chatrier.
The 20-year-old has already become the first American woman in over 31 years to achieve one incredible French Open feat.
Her round of 16 win over Cocciaretto means she joins another exclusive list.
Only two Americans have won more French Open single matches in their first five appearances at the tournament than Gauff.
Those players? Tennis icons Chris Evert and Serena Williams, who had 29 and 21 wins respectively during their first five appearances in Paris.
In fact, since 2000, only current world No. 1 Iga Swiatek has claimed more singles wins than Gauff at Roland Garros before turning 21-years-old.
The defending French Open champion has 22 wins at Roland Garros, with Gauff now on 19.
