The upset bug has been going around Roland Garros over the last few days, with top players like Jessica Pegula, Elena Rybakina and—today—Jannik Sinner suffering shock early-round exits.
But that bug hasn’t made its way to Coco Gauff at all, and on Thursday she continued to power her way through the draw, battling to to a 6-3, 6-2 second-round victory over Egypt’s Mayar Sherif.
It was a special victory for Gauff, too—her 80th at a Grand Slam.
And it gets even more special—at just 22, she’s the youngest woman to amass 80 career wins at Grand Slams since a 20-year-old Maria Sharapova achieved the feat at the Australian Open in 2008.
More to come…
