Coco Gauff

After wrapping up a 6-3, 6-1 victory over the 59th-ranked Trevisan, Coco Gauff will be back at Court Philippe Chatrier on Saturday to face No.

"I mean, yeah, it's a Grand Slam final, but there are so many things going on in the world right now, and especially in the U.S. a lot of stuff is happening right now, so I think it's not important to stress over a tennis match." But I want to keep doing the same work." Gauff questioned Veljovic about a couple of line calls, drawing whistles and boos from spectators who frown on that sort of thing. But ... this has been an issue, at least in my head, for a long time, and I definitely think there needs to be some reform put into place," Gauff said. My parents are going to love me, regardless. So I'm just going to go into it like another match," Gauff said. Because of all manner of surprising results and early exits by top players from the bracket, she has faced only one seeded foe, No. 31 Elise Mertens. Now, in Swiatek, comes someone who will present a much tougher test. "Peace. End gun violence", Coco Gauff writes in the camera lens after booking her spot in the #RolandGarros final. She won the French Open junior title at 14. "I think now especially, being 18, I've really been trying to educate myself around certain situations, because now I have the right to vote and I want to use that wisely." She became the youngest qualifier in Wimbledon history and then beat Venus Williams on the way to the fourth round there at 15.

Coco Gauff called for an end to gun violence after her semifinal win at the French Open.

The focus on long-term development reflected in her training block after last year's US Open and during the pre-season break are paying dividends, and it speaks to her growth mindset and the visionary guidance of her parents." “It’s a problem that’s been going on for years in the U.S. and I wanted to bring that attention to it. I’m super happy.” - The youngest American to reach the French Open women's singles final since Andrea Jaeger in 1982. - The youngest American to reach a Grand Slam women's singles final since Serena Williams at the 1999 US Open. - The youngest player to reach the French Open women's singles final since Kim Clijsters in 2001.

The 18-year-old Gauff dispatched Martina Trevisan of Italy in straight sets in a semifinal.

She’s also patient and smart, able to stay in rallies until the opportune moment comes to unleash the booming forehand that is her strength. But as the match wore on, Gauff only elevated her play, minimizing errors and wisely choosing the openings for winners. Although her game is still developing, Gauff boasts a terrific blend of skills that translate well to the tricky surface, where nimble footwork, timing and patience matter more than power. Andre Agassi was the last American man, winning in 1999. Gauff is the youngest French Open finalist since Belgium’s Kim Clijsters, in 2001. And I think that’s going to give her confidence.”

Her opponent in Thursday's semi-finals at Roland Garros, Martina Trevisan, was taking a medical timeout so her right thigh could be treated and taped by a ...

Early on, a Trevisan shot landed near a baseline and was ruled in to make it 30-all. Unbothered, Gauff broke right back to lead 4-3, smacking a backhand winner that brought Mom and Dad out of their seats in the player guest box. “The only time I get a little nervous is maybe in the morning. The only longer run this century was a 35-match unbeaten stretch by Venus Williams in 2000. “Honestly I wasn’t nervous going in today. “I mean, yeah, it’s a Grand Slam final, but there are so many things going on in the world right now, and especially in the U.S. a lot of stuff is happening right now, so I think it’s not important to stress over a tennis match.” Gauff has won all 12 sets she has played over the past two weeks. After wrapping up a 6-3, 6-1 victory over the 59th-ranked Trevisan, Gauff will be back in that stadium on Saturday to face No. 1 Iga Swiatek for the championship. She won the French Open junior title at 14. I have no words to describe how I feel.” It was the sort of delay that might rattle some players, might make them slow down, relinquish momentum, think too much about what’s at stake. Coco Gauff sat plain-faced in her French Open changeover chair after moving one set away from her first Grand Slam final at 18 — just 18!

L'Américaine devient la plus jeune finaliste sur la terre battue parisienne depuis Kim Clijsters en 2001.

Soutenue par le public, particulièrement sur les points clés où elle était en danger, Trevisan a tenu jusqu’au très long quatrième jeu (15 minutes) où elle a eu quatre balles pour revenir à 2-2, mais où elle a concédé sa mise en jeu sur la quatrième balle de break, laissant son adversaire s’échapper. «Je suis sous le choc... Dans la première manche, à force de contester des balles et de longuement faire vérifier les marques, Gauff a irrité le public qui s’est petit à petit rangé derrière l’Italienne jusqu’à en faire sa favorite.

Coco Gauff wrote: 'Peace. End gun violence,' on a court-side camera then spoke to the media about shootings after beating Martina Trevisan.

The first thing my dad said to me after I got off court: ‘I’m proud of you and I love what you wrote on the camera.’” “Since I was younger – I know I said this before – that my dad told me I could change the world with my racket. “I think that this is a problem in other parts of the world, but especially in America it’s a problem that’s, frankly, been happening over some years but obviously now it’s getting more attention.

“From what I see on court, she's developing every year, basically,” said Swiatek, the champion at Roland Garros in 2020 and on a 34-match winning streak after ...

Now she's the youngest player to reach a major title match since Maria Sharapova won Wimbledon at 17 in 2004. Because of all manner of surprising results and early exits by top players from the bracket, she has faced only one seeded foe, No. 31 Elise Mertens. My parents are going to love me, regardless.

Malgré une grosse tension, Coco Gauff est parvenue à prendre le meilleur sur une Martina Trevisan trop irrégulière (6-3, 6-1). L'Américaine de 18 s'est ...

L'Italienne faisait même intervenir le kiné pour sa cuisse droite avant que ne débute le deuxième set. Mais, contrairement à ce que pourrait laisser croire un score assez sec, tout ne fut pas facile pour Gauff. Son tennis explosif était clairement aux abonnés absents en début de match. Cinq breaks en sept jeux, voilà qui démontre bien la tension qui régnait dans le premier set.

Coco Gauff will play Iga Swiatek in the French Open final, looking to become the youngest Grand Slam champion since Maria Sharapova in 2004.

In 2020, she came to Paris with no title expectations and marched to victory without dropping a set. She tied the longest women’s win streak since Venus Williams won 35 in 2000. “There’s a fine line between believing in yourself and almost pushing yourself too much.” Gauff instead beat her doubles partner, Caty McNally, in the final to become at 14 the youngest junior Grand Slam champion since Martina Hingis in 1994. Gauff’s strong play throughout the tour calendar has her at No. 23 in the world rankings. “This season everything clicked,” Swiatek said. She dispatched the 59th-ranked Trevisan in a matchup of first-time major semifinalists. “I’m a little bit in shock right now,” Gauff said in an on-court interview. “I’m going to be happy regardless [of the final result]. I know my parents are going to love me regardless, so I’m just going to go into it like another match. She will move to No. 13 with a runner-up on Saturday. Win, and she will be No. 8 in the world and the highest-ranked American. In 2020, Gauff beat Naomi Osaka at the Australian Open, becoming the youngest player to defeat a defending champion at a major since Jennifer Capriati in 1991. The next year, Coco Mania broke out at Wimbledon. She beat Venus Williams in the first round and became the youngest player to reach the fourth round of a major since Anna Kournikova in 1996.

American teenager Coco Gauff ended the run of Italy's Martina Trevisan in straight sets to reach her first Grand Slam singles final at Roland Garros.

Gauff won three straight games to wrap up the opener in which she won 12 of the last 14 points. A marathon, 15-minute fourth game in the second set also helped get Gauff over the line. She's also the youngest finalist at any Grand Slam since a 17-year-old Maria Sharapova stormed to the Wimbledon title in 2004.

PARIS — It is easy to be in a rush when you reach the fourth round of Wimbledon at age 15, beating one of your idols, Venus Williams, in your opening match.

She and her partner, Jessica Pegula, are into the semifinals of the women’s doubles and will face their American compatriots Taylor Townsend and Madison Keys on Friday. I’m glad she is aware and bringing the attention and empathy to it. The first thing my dad said to me after I got off court: ‘I’m proud of you, and I love what you wrote on the camera.’” “My dad told me I could change the world with my racket,” she said. “She’s always had work to turn in, and it’s always in the back of your mind. But Gauff’s family also made it clear to her from an early age that she could have a reach far beyond the court. He added: “He’s able to communicate to her how it makes him feel on the other side of the net when she does something. “That release when you finish high school or college is real,” he said. “She’s definitely the favorite going into the match on paper,” Gauff said. On Saturday, she will play in her first Grand Slam singles final, facing the No. 1 seed, Iga Swiatek, at the French Open for the title and the Coupe Suzanne Lenglen. PARIS — It is easy to be in a rush when you reach the fourth round of Wimbledon at age 15, beating one of your idols, Venus Williams, in your opening match. That score and breakneck pace have been typical for Swiatek, the powerful and increasingly imposing Polish star.

Coco Gauff reaching the French Open final at age 18 is the latest in a string of remarkable teenage feats in her young career.

She is the youngest Grand Slam finalist since Maria Sharapova won 2004 Wimbledon at 17. Gauff, now 17, becomes the youngest player to reach a Grand Slam quarterfinal since Nicole Vaidisova in 2006. Gauff became the youngest junior Grand Slam champion since Hingis in 1994.

C'est un problème en Amérique et c'est une thématique qui me tient à coeur depuis longtemps. J'espère que ce message pourra être reçu par le plus de monde possible, a-t-elle ajouté en conférence de presse. Coco Gauff a profité de l'exposition médiatique de sa demi-finale à Roland-Garros jeudi pour militer contre l'usage des armes à feu.

The youngest American grand slam finalist since Serena Williams is one win away from a breakthrough major championship that's been years in the making.

The first thing my dad said to me after I got off court, I’m proud of you and I love what you wrote on the camera.” On Twitter, former First Lady Michelle Obama congratulated Gauff on making it to the final and said she’d be rooting for her all the way. In tennis, a sport where players are perhaps more likely to publicly eschew the complexities of social consciousness for platitudes on hard work, Gauff is clear on her choice: “I’m a human first.” It’s not the first time Gauff has leveraged her platform in the service of social issues. But for me, it was an eye opener that my parents really just care about the character of my personality and not so much on tennis results.” The kind of work that goes into being a professional tennis player is only recently the stuff of Netflix documentaries; the level of tedium inherent to the endless rotation of practice, and play, and training, and physio, the kind needed to avoid the one-off anomaly of an early-career success simply cannot be avoided.
