With the semi-final matchups all set at this year’s French Open, we have 4 exciting matches to look forward to. On the women’s side, the second semi-final features the number 2 seed Coco Gauff in action against French wildcard Lois Boisson. <\/p>
There will be a lot of intrigue surrounding this match, with local talent Boisson making a shockingly deep run in her first-ever main draw at a major. It has been a dream run thus far, and the Parisian crowd will be in full swing to support their player on the biggest stage. <\/p>
Gauff, meanwhile, is chasing her second Grand Slam and definitely knows a thing or two about big semi-finals like this one today. The American made the final at Roland Garros back in 2022, but lost in straight sets to Iga Swiatek. <\/p>
A lot is on the line for both players, as Gauff chases another big win, while Boisson looks to continue her fairytale run. This semi-final clash is expected to bring out the fireworks. <\/p>
Gauff started out the year with mixed results. Although she made it to the quarter-finals at the Australian Open, there were a few early exits along the way. However, she started to find her way in Madrid, making it to the final with big wins over Mirra Andreeva and Iga Swiatek. <\/p>
She followed that up with a second consecutive final in Rome, jumping two spots to become the new world number 2. So far, the American has dropped just one set on her way to the semi-final and came through a gritty three-set win over Madison Keys in the quarters. <\/p>
Gauff has been returning very well this year, converting on 53% of her break points and winning an incredible 43.8% of her return games. However, on serve, her 193 double faults on the year are quite concerning. <\/p>
