Précise et décisive, la tête de série numéro 18 a battu mardi sa compatriote en quarts de finale (7-5, 6-2).

J'ai essayé de jouer différemment cette fois, a expliqué Gauff après la rencontre. Quatre ans plus tard, Coco Gauff disputera sa première demi-finale en Grand Chelem à Roland-Garros. L'Américaine s'est imposée mardi 31 mai face à sa compatriote Sloane Stephens en deux sets (7-5, 6-2) au terme d'un match où elle n'a jamais été mise en danger.

Prénommée Martina par sa mère en référence à Navratilova, Trevisan ne ressent "aucune pression" à cause de ce nom. Un an après avoir été stoppée au même stade par la future lauréate Barbora Krejcikova, 7-6 (8/6), 6-3, Gauff franchit ainsi un nouveau cap. Avant 2022, chacune avait déjà atteint les quarts à Paris mais c'est bien le seul point commun des deux futures adversaires en demie jeudi.

Coco Gauff is into the French Open semifinals after beating countrywoman Sloane Stephens, reaching the final four of a major for the first time.

“Last year, I think I was too focused on trying to fulfill other people’s expectations,” Gauff said in an on-court interview.

Stephens began to steady herself, and though Gauff continued to lead courtesy of the early break, flickers of the talent that had propelled the 29-year-old to a US Open title and world no. Once Gauff had won this game, the result seemed inevitable. "No matter how good or how bad my career is, I think I'm a great person, and that's a message to all young players.

Gauff beat Sloane Stephens to reach the semifinals of a Grand Slam singles tournament for the first time in her career.

Stephens, 29, is now based in the Boston area, but she was long based in South Florida, like Gauff and her family, and knew them well enough to attend Gauff’s 10th birthday party. She can extend points like few players in the game with her quickness and defensive skills, and can also finish them with her terrific two-handed backhand and increasingly with her forehand, long her weaker wing. Unlike some teen prodigies, Gauff did not soar to the top of women’s tennis in a hurry. She won the French Open girls’ title at age 14, a year before her breakthrough run in 2019 as a qualifier at Wimbledon, where she defeated one of her role models, Venus Williams, in her first main-draw match at the All England Club. At 13, she was the youngest U.S. Open girls’ singles finalist in history. A year ago, Gauff faced Barbora Krejcikova, a then-unseeded doubles specialist, in the quarterfinals at Roland Garros and lost, 7-6 (6), 6-3.

Coco Gauff moved into her first grand slam semi-final at the French Open after a 7-5, 6-2 win over Sloane Stephens.

This week, Gauff has referenced that match numerous times as one of the most important steps in her growth, explaining that she has learned not to panic in those moments. Throughout her young career, Gauff’s forehand has become a big target for all players, the aim to rush her elaborate swing with depth and pace, but it was Gauff frequently pushing Stephens back with her heavy topspin while constantly looking to dictate and finish points. This pitted two of the very best athletes in the game against each other, but Gauff outworked Stephens in the numerous long rallies and remained solid as each tried to find a way through the other’s defences.

The 18-year-old Gauff defeated 2018 French Open finalist Sloane Stephens, 7-5, 6-2, to set up a semifinal meeting with unseeded Italian Martina Trevisan, who ...

Gauff dropped serve in the opening game of the second set but went on a five-game tear after that to serve for the match at 5-1. However, when Gauff served for the set at 5-3, Stephens refused to miss and grabbed control, pulling back on serve. However, Gauff has started her own record of excellence at the majors. Two double faults in that game contributed to a service break, but Gauff claimed the win in the following game with a routine break. “Last year in the quarterfinals was a tough loss for me,” Gauff said. ... Your results or your job or how much money you make doesn't define you as a person.”

The 18-year-old American downed former U.S. Open champion Sloane Stephens in straight sets Tuesday.

“I was playing to get to a semifinal, and I still had a set in front of me, so I had to start from scratch.” “I was very tired and I had to go to the bathroom. About two months beforehand, Trevisan wrote a blog post that discussed in detail her experience with anorexia as a teenager. Fernandez was treated by a trainer for a problem with her right foot after the match’s fifth game and her movement was hampered throughout. “I know no matter how good or bad my career is, I know I’m a good person, so I think that’s a good message for young people. “It was just a mental challenge today,” said Gauff, who began this trip to Paris by taking photos near the Eiffel Tower while holding her recently earned high school diploma.
