Coco Gauf, who is ranked 6th in the WTA ranking, managed to make it to the quarterfinals of the Roland Garros tournament.

A finalist in Paris last year, the United States player defeated Anna Karolina Schmidlova (100 WTA) in straight sets at the end of the match, which lasted one hour and 31 minutes.

Gauff could face a nightmare opponent in the quarters. She will meet the winner of the duel between Iga Svyatek (1 WTA) and Lesya Tsurenko (66 WTA).

The Roland Garros tournament takes place from May 28 to June 11, has a total prize pool of 49.6 million euros, and is the 127th tournament. Iga Sviatek and Rafael Nadal (14-time winner in Paris) became the champions of the title.
