18-year-old American tennis player Coco Gauff has reached the final of a Grand Slam for the first time. She achieved this feat by defeating Martina Trevisan of Italy in the semi-finals of the women’s singles category of the French Open tournament.
On the other hand, Poland’s Inga Switake, world number one player, also secured her place in the final. The title match between the two will be played on Saturday (June 4).
Talking about Coco Gauff, she has reached the fourth round of Australian Open and Wimbledon Open. For the first time in 2019 (Wimbledon), she reached the fourth round of a Grand Slam. His long wait of three years ended at the French Open. Coco defeated Martina Trevison in straight sets. He won this match 6-3, 6-1.
Switek became the champion in 2020:
Svitek, on the other hand, defeated Russia’s Daria Kasatkina in the semi-finals. Switek managed to win this match 6-2, 6-1. His eyes are on winning the French Open for the second time. Earlier, Switek became the champion here in 2020. She has not reached the final of any Grand Slam other than the French Open.
Switek has a chance to equal the world record:
Switek has achieved 34th consecutive win of his career. He will have a chance to equal the world record in the final. America’s legend Venus Williams holds the record for winning the most consecutive matches among women. Venus made this record in the year 2000. Switek will have to beat youth sensation Coco Gauff to equalize this record.
Bopanna’s semifinal loss in doubles:
Rohan Bopanna’s dream of reaching the men’s doubles final of the French Open for the first time has been shattered. The 42-year-old Indian and his Dutch partner Matvey lost to 12th seed Jean-Julian Rogen and Marcelo Arevello 4-6, 6-3, 7-6(8) in a super tiebreaker in the Middlecup semi-finals.
In the Super Tiebreaker, Bopanna-Middlecup saved two match points but eventually managed to win over Julian and Marcelo. Had Bopanna reached the final, he would have been the first Indian since Leander Paes in 2013 to play a men’s doubles final at Roland Garros here. However, Bopanna has won the French Open title in 2017 in mixed doubles with Gabriela Dabrawski.
