"If I give it my all, I'm not going to be upset" - Gauff on facing Trevisan in first Major semifinal

Coco Gauff has surpassed expectations at this year's Roland Garros, outplaying her opponents to reach her maiden Grand Slam semifinal and set up a showdown with Martina Trevisan.

The 18-year old will be hoping to avenge her second round loss to the Italian at Roland Garros in 2020, where Trevisan prevailed 7-5 in the deciding set. A lot has changed for both players since then, particularly for the American teenager, who will return to the top-20 on Monday.

"I remember that match pretty clearly," admitted Gauff, who advanced to the final four with a commanding 7-5 6-2 win over her compatriot Sloane Stephens. "I think I was in double digits with double faults. I'm not going to do that this time around.

“She's a tricky player to play on clay, a tricky lefty. We're both playing free tennis, and I think that's going to be a good match-up.

“I think a lot of the times when I play someone two or three times, even back in juniors, I would at least by the third time hopefully figured it out. I think it gives me confidence, losing to Sloane at US Open and winning here, losing to Naomi, to then win, and I lost to Trevisan, so I'm hoping the trend keeps going.”

Trevisan is on a 10-match winning streak, after lifting the title in Rabat two weeks ago. Nonetheless, Gauff is hoping to employ the same approach that has gotten her this far into the tournament.

“I feel like last year I was looking at the finish line, and now I'm not looking at anything really except that ball in front of me,” declared the No.18 seed.

“Going into the next match I'm just going to approach it the same. I care about the results, yes, but also at the same time I don't. If I gave it my all I'm not going to be upset.”
