Coco Gauff Reaches French Open Semifinals Defeating Madison Keys

Coco Gauff advanced to the semifinals of the 2025 French Open after a hard-fought victory over fellow American Madison Keys, winning 6-7, 6-4, 6-1. Despite a shaky start and dropping the first set in a close tiebreak, Gauff improved her play, capitalizing on Keys' unforced errors and maintaining strong serving to dominate the final set. This marks Gauff's second consecutive French Open semifinal, where she will face either French wildcard Lois Boisson or Russian sixth seed Mirra Andreeva. Keys, who had 60 unforced errors compared to Gauff's 41, struggled particularly in the third set with 16 errors as Gauff secured her win. Gauff, ranked second in the world, also became the youngest American in the Open Era to notch 25 or more women's singles wins at Roland-Garros and the youngest player since Serena Williams in 2002 to record her 10th win against a former Grand Slam champion at this tournament. Boisson's surprising run to the semifinals as the world No. 361 adds an intriguing matchup ahead.
