Gauff vs Krejcikova: who will go to the semi-final of Roland Garros?

Cari Gauff managed to reach the quarter-final of Roland Garros for the first time in her career. It is a huge result for a 17-year old player, especially since this is only her third attempt in the senior French Open. 

Gauff's success is not a surprise though. Before the start of a Paris tournament she performed very well on clay, reached the semi-final of Rome tournament and won a title at Parma. On her way to the quarter-final at Roland Garros she didn't lose a single set to Krunic, Wang Qiang, Brady and Jabeur. The round of 16 match against Jabeur was pretty easy for Gauff (6:3, 6:1).

Barbora Krejcikova has already performed better than in previous year at Paris. In 2020 Czech player, despite all the predictions, reached the round of 16 in French Open.

Just like her opponent, Barbora gained excellent form before the Paris tournament, she won a title at Strasbourg tournament. On her way to the Roland Garros quarter-final Krejcikova lost only one set, to her compatriot Kristina Pliskova in the first match (5:7, 6:4, 6:2). In matches against Alexandrova, Svitolina and Stephens Czech player never lost more than five games.
