After doing the hard work to secure a crucial break on serve, Coco Gauff immediately let her lead slip away. The American struggled with her consistency, giving up the break to Mayar Sherif due to a costly double fault and a series of unforced errors. It was a frustrating sequence of play for Gauff, who will no doubt be disappointed to have squandered her lead so quickly.

Mayar Sherif is providing a tough test for fourth seed Coco Gauff, forcing the American to rely on her exceptional court coverage and defensive recovery skills to stay in rallies.

Although Mayar Sherif is giving Coco Gauff a tough fight, the world number 4 has shown why she is a class apart, as the lead in the second set has increased to 5-2. Gauff has managed to stay calm and force Sherif to make mistakes, bringing her closer to the third round at Roland Garros.

Mayar Sherif was aggressive and kept attacking Gauff, but the latter showed her class by countering all of her opponent’s tricks with her stamina. Gauff won the second set 6-2, but those who witnessed it know that it was much closer than it seemed, as Gauff held on in the crucial moments of the game, while Sherif, however, put up a good fight but could not capitalize on the opportunities he created with his aggressive play.
