Gauff storms into second successive French Open quarter-final

Coco Gauff reached the French Open quarter-finals for the second successive year on Sunday with a straight sets victory over Belgium's Elise Mertens. Gauff, 18, won 6-4, 6-0 and will face either US compatriot, and 2018 runner-up, Sloane Stephens or 23rd-seeded Jil Teichmann of Switzerland for a spot in the semi-finals.

Victory on Sunday meant Gauff, the junior champion at Roland Garros four years ago, has put together four straight wins for the first time since last year's run to the quarter-finals in Paris.
