Coco Gauff got here again from a set right down to beat Ons Jabeur and ebook her place within the closing 4 of the French Open.
In a terrific quarter-final conflict, Gauff rallied to prevail 4-6 6-2 6-3 after a shaky begin to the match which noticed the 20-year-old battle to familiarize yourself with the shot-making of Jabeur.
The US Open champion, seeding third at Roland Garros, grew in confidence within the second set and stamped her authority on proceedings by breaking Jabeur three straight occasions.
The eighth-ranked Tunisian started to fade within the closing set, her groundstrokes changing into more and more erratic, and Gauff claimed one other break of serve early on.
Jabeur threatened to interrupt again as Gauff served for the match, however the American clung on and ultimately closed out victory along with her third match level as Jabeur volleyed vast.
“I definitely tried to be more aggressive,” Gauff stated. “She was taking part in very well the entire match, she was hitting a whole lot of winners towards me – which isn’t one thing I am used to with anyone.
“Towards the end, I got a little bit tight on the match points, but I did what I needed to do to win.”
Coco Gauff will probably meet world No 1 Iga Swiatek within the semi-finals, who has ended her French Open hopes within the 2022 closing and 2023 quarter-finals.
