World No. 2 Coco Gauff demonstrated resilience at Roland-Garros on Thursday, defeating Tereza Valentova 6-2, 6-4 despite five service breaks against her. The 2023 US Open champion countered with eight breaks of her own, securing a third-round clash against Czech player Marie Bouzkova.
Chinese Teams Advance in Doubles
While Gauff progresses in singles, Chinese pairs made significant strides in doubles competition. Multiple teams from the Chinese mainland secured victories, continuing Asia's growing influence in global tennis. Their advancement offers fresh opportunities for regional representation in later tournament stages.
