Gauff says high school graduation harder than making French Open semi-final
Coco Gauff reached her first Grand Slam semi-final at the French Open on Tuesday when she defeated fellow American Sloane Stephens but insisted graduating high school while simultaneously playing professional tennis was a tougher assignment. Gauff, 18 years old and ranked 23 in the world, triumphed 7-5, 6-2 over her compatriot and will face Italy's 59th-ranked Martina Trevisan for a place in Saturday's championship match. Gauff was junior champion at Roland Garros in 2018 and then burst into the public consciousness when just 15, she became the youngest woman to qualify for Wimbledon.
