Gauff’s Grit Pays Off on Clay
Coco Gauff just keeps proving why she’s one of the most exciting names in tennis right now. Her latest match at the French Open was against Marie Bouzkova — and even though she’d never beaten her before, this time, she pulled through in straight sets. The first set went by fast, 6-1, with Coco totally in control. But the second? It was a real fight. She was down 5-3 at one point, but she didn’t panic. She held her nerve, forced a tiebreak, and sealed it. Honestly, it felt like a moment that showed how much she’s grown — not just in her game, but in her mindset too.
Jessica Pegula Fights Her Way to the Fourth Round
Jessica Pegula had to work a little harder for her win. She went up against Marketa Vondrousova, and it wasn’t smooth sailing. She dropped the second set but came back strong in the third. That kind of bounce-back takes real focus, especially on clay. Her win — 6-4, 3-6, 6-2 — shows how steady she is under pressure. Next up, she’s got a local opponent, Lois Boisson. It’s the kind of match that could either trip you up or help you gain serious momentum.
Madison Keys Pulls Off a Comeback
Madison Keys had one of those matches that remind you why you love this sport. She was up against Sofia Kenin — who’s not an easy opponent by any stretch. After losing the first set and facing three match points, most people would’ve cracked. But not Keys. She fought back and won the match 4-6, 6-3, 7-5. That win wasn’t just about skill — it was about heart. With that, she’s now got 10 straight wins in Grand Slam singles. That’s something we haven’t seen an American woman do since Serena, which is pretty amazing.
The Bigger Picture for American Tennis
Right now, there’s something exciting happening with American women in tennis. Gauff, Pegula, and Keys are all making serious moves in Paris. It’s not just about one player — it’s about a whole group that’s showing up, playing their hearts out, and keeping American tennis in the spotlight. Their different styles and personalities make it fun to watch. And with each match, they’re reminding us that U.S. tennis is far from fading.
