Teen tennis sensation Cori ‘Coco’ Gauff remains on course to win two titles at the French Open this weekend after advancing to the women’s doubles final.
Gauff who on Wednesday, became the youngest ever finalist in the tournament’s history at 18 years old, is set to double up in the Roland Garros Finale with team mate Jessica Pegula on Friday.
The pair bested fellow Americans Madison Keys and Taylor Townsend in straight sets 6-4 7-6 (7-4) to set up a date with destiny in the championship chasing match.
Gauff, 18, was runner-up in the US Open doubles final in 2021 and hoping to go one better, as she continues to relish the feat of advancing to her first ever singles final at a Grand Slam.
In last year’s tournament Czech republic’s Barbora Krejcikova, became the first woman since 2000 – and the seventh ever – to successfully lift both the singles and doubles title at the tournament in the same year. Gauff and Pegula will face the winners of the other semi-final, which features Ukraine’s Lyudmyla Kichenok and Latvian Jelena Ostapenko against French pair Caroline Garcia and Kristina Mladenovic
