Caroline Garcia beat Coco Gauff at the U.S. Open to reach the first Grand Slam semifinal of her career
Caroline Garcia entered Arthur Ashe Stadium on Tuesday night bracing for the noise. She was facing Coco Gauff, the freshly anointed 18-year-old American darling of the U.S. Open crowds, for a place in the semifinals. And the atmosphere, Garcia predicted, would be “explosive.”
She will face Ons Jabeur, the world No. 5 from Tunisia and Wimbledon finalist, with an eye to becoming the first French major winner since Marion Bartoli in 2013.To casual tennis fans, the 28-year-old from outside Paris was mostly a doubles specialist—if they knew her at all. But anyone who’d been watching closely this season was well aware that Garcia had flown to New York as the hottest player on the circuit. During a wild year, she swung from No. 75 in the world to No.
“When you play these players that are hot, I think it’s more of a mental challenge,” Gauff had said before the match. “You’ve just got to accept she’s going to hit some great shots, because I know she will.”
