Coco Gauff Dominates in Roland Garros Second Round

American tennis star Coco Gauff confidently defeated Tamara Zidansek with a 6-3 6-4 win in the second round of Roland Garros. Despite initial nerves and serving struggles, Gauff harnessed her powerful forehand to secure a victory. She now awaits a match against either Wang Yafan or Dayana Yastremska.

American Coco Gauff rolled past Slovenian Tamara Zidansek 6-3 6-4 in the second round of Roland Garros on Wednesday, harnessing her mighty forehand in front of a crowd squarely on her side. The U.S. Open winner sent over nearly two dozen winners and overcame issues with her serve, including six double faults, to set up a meeting with the winner of a match between China's Wang Yafan and Ukrainian Dayana Yastremska.

The finalist in 2022 showed early signs of nerves as the unseeded Zidansek broke her serve in the opening game of the match. But Gauff broke back in the sixth and eighth games, getting the decisive second-set break in the ninth game before pumping her fist with satisfaction as Zidansek sent the ball out of bounds on match point.
