Teenager Coco Gauff reached the last 16 of the French Open for the first time after fellow American Jennifer Brady quit with a foot injury having lost the first set 6-1 on Saturday.
The 17-year-old was in complete command as she won the first set in 23 minutes, with only one unforced error to her name.
"I have been struggling since Rome. I pulled out of the tournament there second round because I have a pretty bad foot injury, playing in a lot of pain," she said. "I played her, I think, twice now. This will be my third time. Obviously she's a difficult player to play on any surface, but especially clay," Gauff told reporters.
