June 4 (UPI) -- Coco Gauff dropped the first set, but leaned on stellar range and sharp anticipation to edge fellow Madison Keys in an error-clogged All-American meeting Wednesday to reach her third French Open semifinal in four years.
Gauff logged the lone ace of the 2-hour, 11-minute match. The No. 2 player in the WTA Tour singles rankings totaled 15 winners, compared to Keys' 25. Gauff also totaled 41 unforced errors and 24 unforced errors against Keys' respective 60 and 34.
"I was just trying to get the ball deep and be aggressive, but it's tough because she's hitting the ball so fast and so low," Gauff said in her on-court interview.
"I was just trying to fight for every point."
