Coco Gauff faces maybe the toughest task in tennis right now when she takes on world number one Iga Swiatek in the semi-finals of the French Open on Thursday.
Swiatek has been in imperious form this season, winning five titles from six tournaments and losing just three matches.
Gauff, meanwhile, has also been in good form, winning the Qatar Open in February and reaching the semi-finals of the Australian Open in January. However, she has never beaten Swiatek in their 11 previous meetings.
The two players have contrasting styles, with Swiatek relying on her powerful groundstrokes and Gauff using her athleticism and court coverage to her advantage.
Swiatek will be the heavy favorite, but Gauff has shown that she is capable of beating anyone on her day. This promises to be a fascinating match-up between two of the most exciting young players in the game.
