CNN —Coco Gauff raced into the second round of the French Open on Monday, taking just 52 minutes to defeat Russian qualifier Julia Avdeeva 6-1 6-1. Next up for the American is Czech qualifier Tamara Zidanšek, who reached the semifinals of the French Open three years ago – by far her best-ever run at a grand slam. Speaking to the Tennis Channel after her fifth first-round win at Roland Garros, Gauff reflected on some of the long-term goals for her career. Świątek celebrates her 15th consecutive win at the French Open. 1 is also unbeaten since April having won in Rome and Madrid ahead of this year’s French Open.
