<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aryna-sabalenka" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Aryna Sabalenka</a> demonstrated that her setbacks at Roland Garros and Wimbledon were merely lapses in concentration, as evidenced by her impressive performance at the US Open, culminating in a championship victory against Amanda Anisimova, one of the tournament’s standout surprises.



In the wake of her victory over the American tennis sensation, Sabalenka appeared on a podcast to discuss the current toughest competitors she faces on the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/WTA" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">WTA</a> circuit. She candidly identified Coco Gauff and Iga Swiatek as her most formidable opponents to date.



“They have incredible movement. Sometimes you build a point, and with others, that shot might have been a winner, but against them, you often have to rework the point. Physically and mentally, it’s quite challenging,” Sabalenka explained regarding the world No. 2 and No. 3 in her appearance on Jay Shetty’s Podcast.



Gauff and Swiatek have been dominating headlines in the tennis world, and Sabalenka was forthright in her assessment of these two extraordinary players. Both have clinched at least one Grand Slam in recent years, delivering outstanding performances that have solidified their status among the world’s best.







<h2>Sabalenka’s inspirational message</h2>



During her appearance on the podcast, Sabalenka delivered a heartfelt message to those outside the realm of tennis, asserting her belief in being an inspiration. Sabalenka emphasized the importance of pursuing one’s passions, encouraging people to think about what they love and follow it wholeheartedly.

“People need to find something they love because when you love something, that’s what drives you to go and accomplish the things you need to do. And then you do better and improve, it’s pretty important,” Sabalenka shared with Jay Shetty on his podcast.



<h2>Sabalenka’s dedication after US Open triumph</h2>



Upon her victory at the US Open, the world number one chose to dedicate her triumph to a very special person who is no longer with her: her father. “When my dad passed away, I felt depressed. But I decided to use it as motivation to make our family name memorable in history. He became my strength,” Sabalenka said.



Now, as the WTA circuit progresses, Sabalenka aims to maintain her top spot in the global rankings, a position she has held for most of 2023. Despite the remarkable performances from competitors like Gauff and Swiatek, Sabalenka is determined to continue inspiring others through her dedication and success.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/coco-gauff" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Coco Gauff</a> is widely considered one of the favorites at the US Open, coming into the 2025 edition after showcasing excellent performances in previous tournaments. She faced a challenging first-round match on Monday night against Australian tennis player Ajla Tomljanovic.



Despite not meeting some expectations for an outstanding performance, Gauff secured a hard-fought 6-4, 6-7 (2-7), 7-5 victory. She attributed adjustments in her serve as a key factor in overcoming past struggles and gaining an edge over Tomljanovic.



“It was a tough match, I had a chance to win it in straight sets. It wasn’t the best, but I’m happy to get through,” Gauff remarked. “It has been really tough, mentally exhausting, but I’m trying.” Her comments reflect her ongoing efforts to refine her serve, a crucial aspect of her game she continues to develop.



Gauff’s serve statistics highlighted progress, with a 60% first serve success rate, winning 66% of those points. Her second serve secured a 60% win rate, accompanied by four aces, signaling that despite her mental challenges, the American player is making significant strides in her game.

<h2>Gauff reflects on her matchup against Tomljanovic</h2>



After her latest match, American tennis sensation shared her thoughts on facing Tomljanovic, acknowledging the challenges she encountered during the match. Despite playing on home turf, Gauff found no shortage of competition as Tomljanovic brought her best game to the court.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/tennis/iga-swiatek-breaks-monica-seles-record-at-us-open-how-do-their-earnings-compare"></div>

 

 


“I had so many chances; eventually, they’ll come, and I’ll close out in the next games. Some of these will eventually go my way, and I’ll be able to win the match,” Gauff told the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/us-open" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">US Open</a> organization following her first-round victory.



<h2>Gauff’s upcoming challenge at the US Open</h2>



As the US Open continues, Gauff, who triumphed in this tournament in 2023, prepares for her next challenge. She will face Croatian tennis player Donna Vekic in the second round. Vekic showcased her resilience by defeating Spain’s Jessica Bouzas in three sets, rallying after a first-set loss.



As the tournament progresses, Gauff aims to cement her status among the top contenders in the latter stages. Despite her recent victory at Roland Garros, she is keen on refining aspects of her game that have posed challenges in previous WTA circuit matches this year.

Coco Gauff unveils the stark reality behind her new serve following first-round victory at the US Open - Bolavip US

The United States has long been home to some of the greatest talents in women’s tennis. Right now, four Americans sit inside the WTA Top 10, but none has shined brighter this season than 21-year-old <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/coco-gauff">Coco Gauff</a>, the current world No. 2. This week, the rising star added another major milestone to her resume — one that puts her ahead of Serena Williams in the record books.



Gauff powered past Italy’s Lucia Bronzetti 6-2, 6-4 in the Cincinnati Open’s Round of 16 and will next face either Jasmine Paolini or Barbora Krejcikova in the quarterfinals. 



But beyond advancing, Thursday’s win secured her a place in history, surpassing none other than <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/serena-williams">Serena Williams</a> — a legend of American tennis alongside her sister Venus.



Since the Tier I/WTA 1000 format was introduced in 1990, Gauff has now reached 19 quarterfinals at that level before turning 22, edging past Williams’ mark of 18. That total ranks her third all-time, trailing only Maria Sharapova (20) and Martina Hingis, whose jaw-dropping 39 quarterfinals before the age of 22 may never be touched.

(Dylan Buell/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Gauff on her game plan against Bronzetti</h2>



Gauff entered the Round of 16 far fresher than her opponent. While Bronzetti had battled through three matches to reach this stage, Gauff had played just once after her previous opponent, Dayana Yastremska, withdrew. The extra rest showed.


 

 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/tennis/coco-gauff-names-lebron-james-simone-biles-and-more-as-her-inspirations-outside-tennis"></div>

 


The American said her strategy was to stay aggressive from the start — and it worked. Bronzetti struggled to counter Gauff’s pace and precision, falling in straight sets to a player who had enjoyed four days off between matches.



“For the most part I played aggressive,” Gauff said in her on-court interview. “Maybe got a little passive in some of those games. But it’s tough — the balls are super light and they fly, and she wasn’t giving me much pace, so I was just trying to play controlled but also aggressive“.

The Canadian Open has delivered several surprises for two of the top-seeded players: Coco Gauff and Iga Swiatek, both of whom suffered shocking defeats in the fourth round. After their eliminations, the battle for the World No. 2 spot in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/wta">WTA</a> rankings will continue at the Cincinnati Open.



Gauff was stunned in straight sets by wildcard Victoria Mboko in the last 16, leaving <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/iga-swiatek">Swiatek</a> with a golden opportunity to overtake her in the rankings if she went all the way and claimed the title. However, Clara Tauson dashed those hopes with a 7-6 (7-1), 6-3 victory.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/coco-gauff">Gauff</a> currently holds the No. 2 spot with 7,789 points, while Swiatek trails by 856 points. Both players remain well behind World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka (12,225 points), who opted not to compete in the tournament.



<h2>The World No. 2 battle continues in Cincinnati&nbsp;</h2>



Swiatek will get another chance at the Cincinnati Open, though she faces an uphill task. She starts the tournament with an 846-point deficit—the current 856-point gap minus the 10 points Gauff is defending after her second-round exit in 2024.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20250804_BUS_461910_coco-gauff-5-1024x576_20d096cb.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-462049" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/04102942/coco-gauff-5-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/04102942/coco-gauff-5-300x169.jpg 300w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/04102942/coco-gauff-5-768x432.jpg 768w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/04102942/coco-gauff-5-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/04102942/coco-gauff-5-740x416.jpg 740w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/04102942/coco-gauff-5-490x275.jpg 490w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/04102942/coco-gauff-5-250x140.jpg 250w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/04102942/coco-gauff-5.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Coco Gauff reacts during her match againts Victora Mboko (Getty Images) </figcaption></figure>



The Pole has no points to defend from last year’s WTA 1000 event in Cincinnati, as her 390 points from reaching the semi-finals were removed following a positive test for the banned substance trimetazidine after the tournament.



Swiatek will need to win the tournament (worth 1,000 points) and hope that Gauff exits early. However, she admits she still needs to rediscover her rhythm on hard courts following the grass-court season, despite coming with a great nine-match winning streak.&nbsp;



“I still feel like I kind of need to transition on hard courts. And these matches are also kind of to learn again,” the six-time Grand Slam winner said after her defeat. “I feel like I did kind of the same mistakes I did at the end of my hard court season in March.”


<div class="wp_fsn_poll" id="6890c6649901c3ce28a46b87" data-title="Do you think Iga Swiatek surpass Coco Gauff in the rankings ahead of the US Open? " data-options="2"></div>


Meanwhile, Gauff has struggled with her serve. In her three-set win over Danielle Collins, she recorded 24 double faults, and against Veronika Kudermetova, she added another 14. Against Mboko, she committed five more.

Wimbledon is around the corner, and the expectations are high for the third Grand Slam of the season. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/coco-gauff">Coco Gauff,</a> who is coming from winning Roland Garros, and World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka are the two favorites to lift the title, but legend Martina Navratilova named an unexpected candidate to the title: Madison Keys.&nbsp;



“After winning Australia, there’s a huge weight off her shoulders,” the former world No 1 told WTATennis.com about the American star, who won the first major of the year. “Weapons are what win on grass and she’s got them. I think she’s the third favourite to win the tournament, after Sabalenka and not far behind Gauff.”



In January, Keys won her maiden Slam in Melbourne with a strong run in which she defeated Iga Swiatek, then World No. 2, and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aryna-sabalenka">Sabalenka</a> on route to the title. It was the first time that any woman beat the two top seeds to win a major since 2009.



At 29, she also became both the oldest first-time women’s Australian Open champion and the player with the longest gap between their first two major finals in the Open Era. She reached her first one in 2017 at the US Open, losing to Sloane Stephens.&nbsp;However, during the clay season, her best results were two quarter-finals (in Madrid and Roland Garros).



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20250626_BUS_427226_madison-keys-3-1-1024x576_baa123c1.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-427243" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/26130430/madison-keys-3-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/26130430/madison-keys-3-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/26130430/madison-keys-3-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/26130430/madison-keys-3-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/26130430/madison-keys-3-1-740x416.jpg 740w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/26130430/madison-keys-3-1-490x275.jpg 490w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/26130430/madison-keys-3-1-250x140.jpg 250w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/26130430/madison-keys-3-1.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Madison Keys playing during the HSBC Championships&nbsp;(Dan Istitene/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



To prepare for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/wimbledon">Wimbledon</a>, she reached the semifinals in Queen’s, losing to Tatjana Maria and in Berlin, she was edged by Marketa Vondrousova, 2023 Wimbledon champion.&nbsp;Keys, on the other hand, has her best win-loss percentage on grass than any other surface, according to Tennis Live: 71.43%. At Wimbledon, her best result is reaching the quarter-finals (2015, 2018, 2023, and 2024).


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/tennis/aryna-sabalenka-unveils-rare-practice-routine-as-she-prepares-for-wimbledon-challenge"></div>


<h2>Navratilova puts Sabalenka as the first favorite for Wimbledon&nbsp;</h2>



While Sabalenka has lost her last two Grand Slam finals, Navratilova thinks that Wimbledon could be the place in which she finds her charm. “Looking at her record, it’s hard to think she’s not the favourite this year,” she said. “She’s a complete player and has a good game for grass.



“It’s hard to find a weakness or an opening against her. I’m wondering if losing the French Open final will actually help motivate her. I think she finds herself in a good spot,” she added. However, she called Gauff the “best athlete in the women’s game.”&nbsp;



“That should pay off for her, and she’s flying high after winning the French Open. It’s just about managing her game, managing her body, her emotions. She’s found the happy medium, the equilibrium between being focused and fired up,” she added.&nbsp;



Wimbledon starts on June 30, and the major has been in the past three years, three different winners have emerged: Elena Rybakina, Vondrousova and defending champion for this edition, Barbora Krejcikova.&nbsp;

World No. 1 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aryna-sabalenka">Aryna Sabalenka</a> is aiming to leave the clay-court swing behind at the Berlin Open, in which she will play in preparation for Wimbledon at the end of the month. However, the Belarusian has addressed her loss to Coco Gauff in the Roland Garros final, not only apologizing for her “unprofessional” comments after the match, but also revealing what she learned from the experience.



In an interview with Eurosport Germany, Sabalenka was asked about how she dealt with the criticism she received for blaming the conditions, as well as saying that Iga Swiatek, whom she beat in the semifinals, would have won the match against <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/coco-gauff">Gauff.</a>



“I have to agree, that was just completely unprofessional of me. I let my emotions get the better of me. I absolutely regret what I said back then. You know, we all make mistakes. I’m just a human being who’s still learning in life,” she said, while revealing she wrote to the American star to apologize.



“I wanted to apologize and make sure she knew she absolutely deserved to win the tournament and that I respect her. I never intended to attack her. I was super emotional and not very smart at that press conference,” she added.

Sabalenka explained that she had to see the experience with “open eyes” to learn what was holding her back. “I realized a lot about myself. Why did I lose so many finals? I kept getting so emotional. So I learned a lot. Above all, one thing: I’m the one who always treats my opponents with great respect—whether I win or lose. Without that respect, I wouldn’t be where I am today. So it was a tough but very valuable lesson for me,” she concluded.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/tennis/she-was-canadian-no-1-player-retired-at-22-due-to-online-harassment-and-depression-before-coming-back"></div>


<h2>Sabalenka is aiming to return to Wimbledon after missing it last year</h2>



After losing two finals in two majors this year, Sabalenka will aim to get to a third at <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/wimbledon">Wimbledon</a>. The World No. 1 will return to London after she missed the tournament last year due to injury, which she sustained while playing in Berlin. However, she is confident to bring her new perspective to the tournament.



“We all have the same goal: to win the tournament. I’ve built a lot of self-confidence over the years, but at the same time, I’ve realized: It has nothing to do with self-confidence. It’s about how willing you are to go out on the court and compete, even when things aren’t going so well. It’s about how willing you are to go out there and fight for what you want,” she said.



Despite the losses, Sabalenka has been one of the most dominant players of the year. She won Miami and Madrid, and reached the final at Indian Wells. Also, with over 3,000 points of advantage over Gauff, she is set to remain at the World No. 1.

Sabalenka enters as the best player of the season

Aryna Sabalenka comes into the Roland Garros final as the top player of 2025. After her semifinal victory over Iga Swiatek, Sabalenka became the first player this year to notch 40 main-draw wins on the WTA Tour.

Gauff shines during a stellar clay season

Coco Gauff has been a dominant force on clay in 2025, establishing herself as a consistent contender in the season's marquee events. Before making her way to the Roland Garros final, the World No. 2 reached the championship match at both WTA 1000 tournaments on clay, the Madrid Open and the Rome Open.

Ranking points and prize money on the line

Grand Slam tournaments offer the highest ranking points on the tour, and by reaching the Roland Garros final, both Aryna Sabalenka and Coco Gauff have secured 1,300 points. The winner will see that total rise to 2,000, providing a significant boost in the WTA Rankings.
Beyond the prestige and points, there's also a hefty paycheck at stake. The runner-up will earn €1,275,000, while the champion will take home €2,550,000—one of the largest prize purses in professional tennis.

Coco Gauff captures first Roland Garros crown with victory over World No.1 Aryna Sabalenka - Bolavip US

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/coco-gauff">Coco Gauff</a> has been one of tennis’ rising stars in recent years. Already a Grand Slam winner, the American star, currently World No. 2, has made her way to the top of the WTA elite. While she has already revealed who <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/tennis/world-no-3-coco-gauff-reveals-who-she-considers-the-greatest-player-of-all-time">she considers to be the GOAT of tennis</a>, she recently opened up about which athletes inspired her outside of tennis.



“Sydney McLaughlin is someone I really like and look up to in that way,” she said of the two-time Olympic hurdler and sprinter. She also had some words for Simone Biles, who has won 11 Olympic medals.



“She just pushes herself and to me that’s crazy because in tennis we had Rafa, Roger and Novak all pushing each other, but in gymnastics, she doesn’t have anyone. So, the fact that she’s been able to move against herself. I think it is pretty cool,” she said during a press conference in Roland Garros.



Gauff also mentioned some basketball legends. “You have the obvious like LeBron, Michael and Kobe, that Mamba mentality. Those are people I look up to outside of tennis, but in tennis, it’s the usual: Serena, Rafa, Novak and Roger. The best of the best,” she added.

The 21-year-old has won nine career singles titles, including the 2023 US Open and 2024 WTA Finals, and nine doubles titles, including the 2024 French Open. With her win over Lois Boisson on Wednesday, Gauff has reached her second singles final at Roland Garros.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/tennis/coco-gauff-profile"></div>


<h2>Gauff’s 2025 season so far: She could add her second major win in singles</h2>



Gauff opened the year with a strong performance, going unbeaten at the United Cup and leading Team USA to the title with a straight-sets win over Iga Swiatek. At the Australian Open, Gauff reached the quarterfinals before falling to Paula Badosa, ending her 13-match win streak.

While she was eliminated at the Round of 16 in both Miami and Indian Wells, she rebounded strongly on clay, reaching the finals in both Madrid and Rome with key wins over top-ranked players. Now, at Roland Garros she could add her second major win in singles, but first she will have to beat Aryna Sabalenka in the final on Saturday.



Either way, Gauff has made history as the youngest player to reach 25 career wins at Roland Garros since Martina Hingis achieved the feat in 2000. Hingis was just 19 when she hit that milestone in Paris.

WTA World No. 2 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/coco-gauff">Coco Gauff</a> advanced to the French Open semifinals after a hard-fought three-set victory over Madison Keys. The American now prepares to face tournament sensation Lois Boisson, who, ranked No. 361, has reached the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/roland-garros">Roland Garros</a> semifinals in her debut at the event.



Gauff overcame Keys in three sets, 6-7(8), 6-3, 6-3, rallying from a set down and a 4-3 position in the second set, to secure her place in the semifinals. There, she’ll face local favorite Boisson, who stunned Mirra Andreeva 7-6(8), 6-3, backed by the support of the French crowd.



Despite the local favorite’s momentum, Gauff made it clear in her post-match press conference that she’s unfazed by the prospect of playing against a partisan French crowd.



“I have played Jasmine [Paolini] in Rome, I’ve played Jasmine and Sara [Errani] in Rome, I’ve played Caroline [Garcia] and Kristina [Mladenovic] here,” Gauff said. “So I have some experience playing, like, against a crowd that maybe is not rooting for you. It’s something I’m looking forward to if it were to happen”.

Gauff, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/tennis/coco-gauff-makes-history-at-roland-garros-matching-martina-hingis-after-quarterfinal-win">who recently matched Martina Hingis’ record at Roland Garros</a>, emphasized that she thrives in high-pressure environments, regardless of whether the crowd is with her or against her.

“There are two ways I have done it in the past: either just pretending they’re cheering for you or just using it and not letting that get to you,” she said. “I have been in crowds where they are 99 percent for me, so I don’t have an issue with it. You know, I hope everyone will be respectful. If not, it’s cool”.



<h2>Gauff draws inspiration from Carlos Alcaraz</h2>



The American mentioned that she is attempting to adopt the philosophy of Carlos Alcaraz, who focuses on enjoying every moment on the court, a mindset that Gauff aspires to embrace.



“Following Carlos’s documentary, which I haven’t seen but have heard a lot about, I am trying to step out of my tennis bubble a bit and enjoy life,” Gauff shared. “I have even confessed to Carlos that I want to try to have fun on the court and smile as much as he does“. 



“In general, I want to enjoy life a little more,” she continued. “I think he has a great philosophy, and that’s something I try to take as inspiration. I don’t think I could ever smile as much on the court as he does”.

This comeback victory not only adds another Grand Slam win to her impressive resume but also allows Gauff to match a milestone set by tennis legend Martina Hingis.



The clay courts seem to be the ideal battleground for Gauff’s talents. Her hard-fought victory sends a clear message to her competitors in the tournament: Gauff is a force to be reckoned with and will present a formidable challenge in the semifinals.



Gauff’s exceptional form in the 2025 season continues to turn heads, highlighted by her back-to-back runner-up finishes in the recent Masters 1000 events.

<h2>Gauff hits another milestone at Roland Garros</h2>



The American tennis player continues to shine at Roland Garros, achieving yet another milestone in her burgeoning career.

<h2>Gauff reflects on her match performance</h2>



Following her fourth-round match against Ekaterina Alexandrova, Gauff shared her insights on the contest, focusing on her performance and tactical approach. In her post-match interview with the WTA’s official website, she remarked, “She stepped up her game in the second set. Even after a solid shot from me, she managed to hit a winner right on the line. If she wins like that, I can keep my head held high. Overall, I thought I played great.“

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/coco-gauff" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Coco Gauff</a> punched her ticket to the third round at Roland Garros on Wednesday with a straight-sets win over Tereza Valentova, 6-2, 6-4. With the victory, Gauff not only secured her spot in the next round, but also surpassed Serena Williams in a notable tournament milestone and matched Maria Sharapova’s mark, setting herself up for an even deeper run at the French Open.



Gauff looked composed and confident throughout the match, controlling play with consistency and power. Now eyeing a second career Grand Slam title, the 21-year-old American is building momentum at just the right time.



Wednesday’s win marked Gauff’s 22th career victory at the French Open, making her the youngest American in the Open Era to reach that milestone, surpassing the previous mark held by <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/serena-williams" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Serena Williams</a>. It’s a testament to Gauff’s steady rise and current form on the WTA Tour.



Coming off back-to-back finals appearances on clay, Gauff enters the latter stages of the tournament as one of the top contenders. Still, the road to the title won’t be easy. Reigning champion Iga Swiatek remains in the draw and is chasing history of her own. A fourth consecutive title in Paris would make Swiatek the only woman in the Open Era to achieve that feat at <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/roland-garros" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Roland Garros</a>.

<h2>Gauff matches Sharapova’s Roland Garros streak</h2>



Gauff’s second-round victory at the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/french-open" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">French Open</a> wasn’t just a step toward a potential title, it also put her in elite company. With the win, the 21-year-old American advanced to the third round at Roland Garros for the fifth consecutive year, matching a feat last achieved by Maria Sharapova between 2004 and 2008.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/tennis/french-open-coco-gauff-iga-swiatek-and-other-wta-stars-speak-out-on-night-session-scheduling-controversy"></div>


That kind of consistency on the clay in Paris speaks volumes about Gauff’s evolution on the surface, and it adds another impressive milestone to her growing résumé. As she heads into the next round, Gauff has one goal in mind: a maiden Roland Garros title.



<h2>Gauff passes the time with a nap</h2>



Before Gauff stepped on the court, she faced a lengthy delay while waiting for a men’s singles match to wrap up. But if the wait rattled her, she didn’t show it. “I took a nap and honestly was just on TikTok the whole time,” Gauff told tournament organizers after her straight-sets win.



Now, she’ll shift her focus to the third round, where she’ll face Czech opponent Marie Bouzkova. With momentum on her side and a place in history already secured, Gauff’s Paris campaign is gaining serious traction.

Coco Gauff surpasses Serena Williams and matches Sharapova with third-round appearance at Roland Garros

Coco Gauff surpasses Serena Williams and matches Sharapova with third-round appearance at Roland Garros - Bolavip US

Since the inception of the night session in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/french-open">French Open</a> in 2021, every year there’s been discussion around one topic: the lack of women’s matches played in the “primetime” slot. This year has been no exception, with stars like Coco Gauff, Iga Swiatek and Ons Jabeur giving mixed opinions on the matter.



Unlike the other Grand Slam tournaments, such as the Australian Open and the US Open, which feature two matches in the night session, Roland Garros only has one. That match is broadcast as the marquee event on Amazon Prime in France, giving it extra visibility.



Since the French Open introduced the night session, the numbers have told a clear story. In 2022 and 2023, there were nine men’s matches and just one women’s match in the slot. This year, the count is even more stark: eleven men’s matches, zero for women. However, do women really want to play at night in Paris? The answer is mixed.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/coco-gauff">Coco Gauff</a> says the timing isn’t ideal: “I mean, prove me wrong, but I don’t think any girl wants to play after the 8:15 match.” She suggested earlier evening options could work better, as it happens in the other events. Four-time champion<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/iga-swiatek"> Iga Swiatek </a>has also voiced a preference for daytime matches, as she has more time to rest. But, some others see the lack of women’s matches at night as a clear sexist message.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/tennis/coco-gauff-profile"></div>


<h2>Ons Jabeur and Danielle Collins weigh in the controversy</h2>



After losing her first round match on Tuesday, Ons Jabeur, a two-time Wimbledon finalist, didn’t mince words: “It’s a bit ironic. They don’t show women’s sport, they don’t show women’s tennis, and then they ask the question, ‘Yeah, but mostly they watch men.’ Of course they watch men more because you show men more.”



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20250529_BUS_407037_jasmine-paolini-3-1024x576_a9d206fb.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-407040" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/28221453/jasmine-paolini-3-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/28221453/jasmine-paolini-3-300x169.jpg 300w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/28221453/jasmine-paolini-3-768x432.jpg 768w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/28221453/jasmine-paolini-3-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/28221453/jasmine-paolini-3-740x416.jpg 740w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/28221453/jasmine-paolini-3-490x275.jpg 490w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/28221453/jasmine-paolini-3-250x140.jpg 250w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/28221453/jasmine-paolini-3.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Jasmine Paolini celebrates during the 2025 French Open (Adam Pretty/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



American Danielle Collins admitted she doesn’t pay much attention to the discourse, but said that she believes women can “attract” crowds. “I do think there’s a lot of benefits to having the women on during the night matches. We attract a lot of fans. A lot of crowd. We create a lot of discussion around the game overall,” she said.



“I think there is certainly value in having us on the night schedule as well. It’s probably a little out of the ordinary compared to some of the other events. That’s all I can really say,” Collins added.



<h2>Organizers say they have to put ‘the better match’</h2>



The truth is that the organizers’ words don’t help in the matter. Gilles Moretton, the president of France’s tennis federation, said, via the Athletic, “Sometimes we need to put, I mean, for the night session, we need to put the better match.” However, according to the outlet, he didn’t answer to clarify if that is a potentially harmful message for female athletes.



Amélie Mauresmo, a former women’s World No. 1 and tournament director, has argued that the shorter format of women’s matches wouldn’t make fans feel like they’re getting enough value for their ticket.



While this debate sparks every year, it doesn’t seem like it’s going to change anytime soon.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/coco-gauff" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Coco Gauff</a> entered Roland Garros with high expectations and she backed them up with a strong start in the first round. The American star defeated Australia’s Olivia Gadecki in straight sets, 6-1, 6-1. But it wasn’t just her performance that had fans talking.



Before the match even began, Gauff sparked laughter across social media after a humorous pre-game mishap went viral. In the now-viral clip, Gauff sat courtside moments before warm-up when she suddenly realized something important was missing, her rackets. She rifled through her bag only to find it empty of the gear she needed.



Caught off guard, she flashed a surprised expression and then shared a laugh with Gadecki as the realization set in. Gauff spoke briefly with her team, and after a few chuckles, a staff member ran off to retrieve her equipment.



Though the moment caused some initial panic, Gauff handled it with good humor, and got right back to business on the court. And looked like the moment didn’t cause any trouble for her, as she played naturally, as it happened before.



<div class="ck-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560">When you forget your rackets 😅 <a href="https://twitter.com/CocoGauff?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CocoGauff</a> <a href="https://t.co/bG3hbaTuWW">pic.twitter.com/bG3hbaTuWW</a>— Tennis Channel (@TennisChannel) <a href="https://twitter.com/TennisChannel/status/1927339035032207788?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 27, 2025</a></blockquote></div>



<h2>Gauff dominates behind impressive serve stats</h2>



Gauff delivered one of her strongest performances of the season, controlling the match from start to finish. She landed 60% of her first serves, won 68% of those points, and converted 71% of her second serves.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/tennis/world-no-2-coco-gauff-reveals-her-favorites-candidates-to-win-roland-garros"></div>


Her commanding numbers on Tuesday at <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/roland-garros" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Roland Garros</a> reinforced why many consider her a contender for the title this year. But the path won’t be easy. Defending champion Iga Swiatek also advanced to the next round, and the two could meet in a high-stakes showdown later in the tournament.



<h2>Next up: Tereza Valentova</h2>



Gauff now prepares for a second-round matchup against Czech rising star Tereza Valentova. It will mark their first meeting on the WTA Tour, and could be the beginning of a great rivalry between both players.



While Gauff looks poised to make a deep run, surprises are always part of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/french-open" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">French Open</a>’s charm. Just ask Daniil Medvedev, who suffered a stunning early exit at the hands of Britain’s Cameron Norrie. For now, Gauff remains focused and unfazed, rackets firmly in hand this time.

Coco Gauff delivers the funniest moment of Roland Garros so far ahead of his first matchup

As the clay season reaches its pinnacle with Roland Garros, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/coco-gauff">Coco Gauff</a> is among the top contenders eyeing the trophy. The American star, who fell short in the 2022 French Open final, is seeking redemption this year. But she knows the field is stacked with talent, making it anyone’s tournament to win.



Speaking at a press conference ahead of her first-round match on Monday, May 26, against Olivia Gadecki, Gauff highlighted several players she considers serious threats while emphasizing the unpredictability of women’s tennis.



“Obviously, I hope I’m up there, but there’s Jasmine [Paolini], Aryna [Sabalenka], Iga [Swiatek], Qinwen [Zheng], Mirra [Andreeva], there are more I can name that all have the opportunity,” Gauff said. “Who knows, we’ve all seen things like the US Open when Emma [Raducanu] won, so literally anybody can win this tournament”.



The 2023 US Open winner believes this unpredictability is what makes the women’s game so exciting compared to the men’s side, where results are often more predictable.

“I think that’s what makes women’s tennis exciting,” she added. “This is why everybody should tune in. It’s maybe not so much like the men’s side, where you have the top three or four who you expect to win. With the women, there are so many possibilities. It makes each matchup equally exciting”.

<h2>Gauff reflects on 2022 French Open final</h2>



At just 21 years old, Gauff is striving to replicate her deep run from 2022, where she reached the final but was defeated by Iga Swiatek in straight sets, 6-1, 6-3. Looking back, Gauff admits that her performance left her disappointed, particularly with her mental approach to that match.



“It was a tough feeling for me because I felt like I very much underperformed in that final,” Gauff said. “Not necessarily game-wise, but I was very disappointed in how I approached that match mentally. I just felt like maybe I could never overcome that”.



Despite the loss, Gauff remains confident in her game on clay, citing her smooth transition from hard courts to the surface as a key advantage. “I’ve noticed that when I would go from hard to clay, it was pretty easy for me to transition to,” she explained. “I think especially with how heavy I hit on my forehand side, I definitely think it helps enhance that”.
