In today’s tennis world, you probably won’t find a more promising player than the American Coco Gauff. The talented star is among the top three tennis players in the world at just twenty years old! In the semi-finals, she will compete with Iga Šwiateková (23). In addition, she also relied on Markéta Vondroušová (24), who became world number one!
She performed an exemplary turn. Coco Gauffová, the current world number three in top tennis, knocked out the Tunisian fighter Uns Džábirová (29) 2:1 in sets in the Roland Garros quarterfinals. In a direct fight for the final, she will face world number one Iga Šwiateková, who did not give Markéta Vondroušová any chance.
And it was the Czech winner of last year’s Wimbledon that Gauff took a dig at in the post-match interview! Why? Journalists asked if she was worried about the fact that Šwiateková smoothly passed both Anastasia Potapova and the aforementioned Vondrousová at this year’s French Open.
“Iga is a tough opponent for everyone. I just have to learn, go through the matches I played against her on clay, and come up with a strategy with the team. I definitely won’t think about the players she beat. I’m not Potapova and I’m not Vondrousova either, that doesn’t mean anything,” she said to »Maki«, who lost to Polka in the quarterfinals with a ratio of 0:6 and 2:6.
In addition, Gauff noted that she does not allow herself any pressure before the semifinals of the French Grand Slam, which will be played on Thursday, June 6, from 3 p.m. “Maybe I’ll lose by the same score as the girls before me. But at this point I certainly have nothing to lose, all the pressure is on her.” concluded the winner of last year’s US Open. So far, Gauff has lost against Šwiatek in ten out of eleven cases. How will their next duel turn out?
