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.
