Women's World No. 2 Coco Gauff continues to thrive at the French Open, and on Wednesday, she made a bit of history.

Gauff reached the Roland-Garros semifinals for a second straight year after beating another top-10 player, Madison Keys, in the quarterfinals.

It wasn't an easy victory for Gauff, who lost the first set before roaring back to win the next two, 6-7(6), 6-4, 6-1. The American tennis sensation also got a bit of a scare in the second set when Keys made a three-game run and erased her 4-1 lead to even things at 4-4, per WTA.

Fortunately, it was all Gauff after that, with the 21-year-old dominating and winning eight of the next nine games to end the match in two hours and 11 minutes.

With the victory, Gauff also secured her 25th win at the French Open. According to Roland-Garros, she is the "youngest player" to do it since 2000.

"The youngest player to claim 25 Roland-Garros wins since Martina Hingis in 2000," Roland-Garros wrote on Instagram, along with a photo of Gauff celebrating. Hingis achieved the same feat when she was 19 years old.

It will definitely be interesting to see if Coco Gauff can continue her winning run at the French Open. She's up against Lois Boisson in the semifinals, and while the French international is a wildcard entry, she has beaten top-6 players Jessica Pegula and Mirra Andreeva.

Gauff has yet to win the French Open, with her best performance in the clay Grand Slam coming in 2022, when she finished as the runner-up.
