In the third round of the women's singles at the 2025 French Open on May 31, local time, Gauff defeated the difficult Czech opponent Marie Bouzkova 6:1, 7:6 (7:3), and advanced to the round of 16 in seven consecutive Grand Slams, and is also the youngest American female player since Dawei.
Gauff
"She did a great job and hit a lot of balls back in the second set. It's been quite difficult, but overall I'm happy to keep going. Second seed Gauff got out of the second set turbulence and went from 3-5 to tie-break, and then improved her form to end a two-game losing streak against Bouzkova, "I played well in the first set, and then I lost some points, and she always got the ball back, which is a problem that every opponent against her has to do. At just 21 years old, Gauff's sweet revenge continues to challenge the record held by his compatriot Dawei, who reached the fourth round of nine consecutive Grand Slams between 1997 and 1999.
In 2022, Gauff made her debut at Roland Garros in Paris, but was runners-up, and last year she also returned to the last four of a Grand Slam on clay and will now face 20th seed Alexandrova of Russia for a place in the last eight.
