World No. 2 Coco Gauff continues her pursuit of her first French Open title as she faces Tereza Valentova in the second round on Thursday.
Gauff continued her impressive run on clay courts with a dominant straight-sets victory over Olivia Gadecki, defeating the Australian 6-2, 6-2 on Tuesday.
The American, however, will have to stay on guard against Valentova. Though the Czech teen came through the qualifiers to make the main draw of the French Open for the first time, she is no stranger to the Grand Slam. Valentova won a French Open double in the juniors last year, bagging the girls’ singles and doubles (with Renáta Jamrichová) titles.
After breezing through the three qualifying rounds without dropping a set, the 18-year-old scored a hard-fought 4-6, 6-3, 7-5 win over Frenchwoman Chloe Paquet in the opening round.
