Coco Gauff is a woman on a mission.
The 21-year-old survived an early scare to reach her second consecutive semi-final at the French Open on Wednesday, overcoming Madison Keys 6-7 (6), 6-4, 6-1.
Keys, who won the Australian Open in January, was on a 11 match win streak in Grand Slams before facing Gauff, and when she claimed the first set, all roads pointed towards a 12th.
However, Gauff rallied in the second set, breaking Keys early before going on to win the set and level the tie.
From that point, Keys’ level collapsed as Gauff stormed to a 6-1 win in the third to seal the match and her place in the last four.

She’s also the youngest American to reach back-to-back Women’s Singles semi-finals at Roland Garros since Andrea Jaeger (16 years and 354 days) in 1982.
The 2023 US Open champion will now face either Mirra Andreeva or Lois Boisson in the semi-final.
