'About time': American women have big day on Paris clay

Coco Gauff has led a parade of US women into the last-16 of the French Open -- and her teammate Jessica Pegula reckons it's about time. Second seed Gauff, who as the 2022 runner-up at Roland Garros, is the pick of the five Americans who've battled into the fourth round, found it harder than she may have hoped to subdue Czech Marie Bouzkova 6-1 7-6 (7-3) on Saturday. Gauff completed an excellent day for the US challenge after third seed Pegula came from a set down to knock out 2023 Wimbledon champion and 2019 Roland Garros runner-up Marketa Vondrousova 3-6 6-4 6-2. Seventh seed Madison Keys also progressed, winning the all-American clash with Sofia Kenin 4-6 6-3 7-5, while 16th seed Amanda Anisimova had also made it on Friday by defeating Danish 22nd seed Clara Tauson 7-6 (7-4) 6-4. That's set up Anisimova, the 23-year-old from New Jersey who was a teenage semi-finalist at Roland Garros six years ago, with a fourth-round pop at world No.1 Aryna Sabalenka, who has dropped just 10 games in three matches so far. "We're both some pretty big hitters, so I'm sure we're going to be going at it back and forth a bit," said Anisimova. Perhaps the surprise US fourth-rounder is world No.70 Hailey Baptiste, who had hitherto looked most uncomfortable on this surface but who surpassed herself by battling past Spaniard Jessica Bouzas Maneiro 7-6 (7-4) 6-1. "About time," smiled Pegula about the US surge. "It's exciting to see. Obviously, you want to see your fellow countrymen do well on the other side, and I'm always actually keeping up with them quite a lot." She's seeking to become the first American woman since Serena Williams a decade ago to take the title, while no US man has won for 26 years since Andre Agassi.

French Open 2025: Pegula battles into last 16; Andreeva beats Putintseva

American third seed Jessica Pegula battled into the last 16 of the French Open 2025 on Saturday with a 3-6, 6-4, 6-2 win over Czech Marketa Vondrousova. Pegula, last year's US Open runner-up, next meets unheralded Lois Boisson, ranked 361, the last French player competing in Roland Garros. Boisson fought through the pain to see off 138th-ranked countrywoman Elsa Jacquemot 6-3, 0-6, 7-5. Pegula, who missed the 2024 tournament at Roland Garros due to injury, is hoping to better her previous best run in Paris, which was a quarterfinal appearance three years ago. The 31-year-old has been boosted by her recent title win on clay in Charleston. But she was pushed hard by former Wimbledon champion Vondrousova - a losing finalist in Roland Garros in 2019 - now ranked 96th in the world. 'Really tough today,' said Pegula. 'I know playing Marketa is always going to be a battle, especially since I know we haven't played on clay before, but I know she's had really good results here. It's also super humid today. I felt like it was just a really tough match mentally and physically,' she added.

The American converted all three of her breaks in the third set with a Vondrousova double-fault, handing Pegula a 5-2 lead. Andreeva feeling 'better and better' Earlier, 18-year-old Mirra Andreeva eased into the last 16 with a 6-3, 6-1 win over Kazakh Yulia Putintseva. Sixth seed Andreeva took 78 minutes to dispatch Putinstseva to set up a showdown with Daria Kasatkina, ranked 17. Kasatkina, now playing for Australia after switching allegiance from her native Russia, got past Spanish 10th seed Paula Badosa 6-1, 7-5 in their third round match. Andreeva is competing in just her ninth Grand Slam event, but the teenager has now reached the second week in five of them. After a closely-contested first set, Andreeva took control winning nine of the last 10 games of the match. 'I felt a little nervous before the match, but overall, throughout I felt like I could do whatever I want on the court,' said Andreeva. 'Like, you know, I felt free. I'm happy that with every match I play, I feel better and better. I think that this is a good thing,' she added.

Pegula battles into French Open tie with last home hope Boisson

Pegula, last year's US Open runner-up, next meets unheralded Lois Boisson, ranked 361, the last French player competing in Roland Garros. Boisson fought through the pain to see off 138th-ranked countrywoman Elsa Jacquemot 6-3, 0-6, 7-5. Pegula, who missed the 2024 tournament at Roland Garros due to injury, is hoping to better her previous best run in Paris which was a quarter-final appearance three years ago. The 31-year-old has been boosted by her recent title win on clay in Charleston. But she was pushed hard by former Wimbledon champion Vondrousova -- a losing finalist in Roland Garros in 2019 -- now ranked 96th in the world. "Really tough today," said Pegula. "I know playing Marketa is always going to be a battle, especially I know we haven't played on clay before, but I know she's had really good results here. "It's also super humid today. I felt like it was just a really tough match mentally and physically." After failing to create a single break point in the first set, Pegula powered back to break Vondrousova three straight times in the second, setting up a decider. The American converted all three of her breaks in the third set with a Vondrousova double-fault handing Pegula a 5-2 lead. She then watched the end of the all-French clash between Boisson and Jacquemot on Court Simonne Mathieu. "I was watching the end of the match. That was crazy," said Pegula. Boisson, 22, needed her left leg massaged between the first and second sets during the match, which last two hours and 23 minutes. The last time a French woman recipient of a wildcard reached the round of 16 was in 2014, with Pauline Parmentier. "Obviously.. going to have some crazy support," said Pegula.

French Open 2025: Jessica Pegula rallies vs. Marketa Vondrousova, Jannik Sinner dispatches Jiri Lehecka

Day 7 at the 2025 French Open began with No. 3 women's seed Jessica Pegula encountering some early difficulty against Marketa Vondrousova, losing the first set. But she recovered to win the next two sets and advanced to the tournament's fourth round. After losing the first set 6-3, Pegula surged out to a 5-1 lead in the second set. But she couldn't get break point over Vondrousova, who battled her way back. Ultimately, however, Pegula tired Vondrousova out by getting her to move side-to-side constantly to catch up to her returns. The 2023 Wimbledon champion had little left for the third set, resulting in a 3-6, 6-4, 6-2 victory for Pegula. Advertisement Following the match, Pegula admitted that she had trouble getting to Vondrousova's drop shots initially. "For the first hour I was just running up and back, sprints, it was like a fitness workout with her drop shots," Pegula said, via The Athletic. "She's so tricky. She does well here every year." "I know she hasn't been playing that much because she's been injured," she added, "But to be honest, I think that was a really good win against someone who is really a clay courter. To figure it out makes me really proud." Pegula will face a French opponent, either Elsa Jacquemot or Lois Boisson, in the next round and figures to have the crowd at Roland-Garros rooting against her as a result. Jannik Sinner faces no trouble versus Jiri Lehecka On the men's side, top seed Jannik Sinner cruised to the fourth round, easily defeating Jiri Lehecka in straight sets 6-0, 6-1, 6-2. Losing only three games, Sinner finished the match in one hour and 35 minutes. He was relentless from the start, winning 11 straight games to begin the match while getting 31 winners and only committing nine unforced errors. In his post-match interview, Sinner said that starting well was "very important for confidence." Clearly, that confidence didn't waver at all against Lehecka, ranked No. 34 in the world, on Saturday. Up next for Sinner is Andrey Rublev, who automatically advanced with Arthur Fils having to withdraw due to a stress fracture in his lower back.
