Big guns Madison Keys and Coco Gauff lock horns in an all-American quarter-final at the French Open.

Keys has a 3-2 edge against Gauff after winning their last two encounters, at the 2023 Eastbourne International and the 2024 Rome Masters.

Reigning Australian Open champ Keys has dropped just one set – the opener against former finalist Sofia Kenin in the third round – and comfortably accounted for Daria Saville, Katie Boulter and Hailey Baptiste in two. The 30-year-old made a semi-final her back in 2018.

The Roland Garros runner-up in 2022, Gauff has been in blistering touch to make her way through Olivia Gadecki, Tereza Valentova, Marie Bouzkova and 20th seed Ekaterina Alexandrova, losing no more than seven games in each.

Still only 21, Gauff has a 4-4 record in grand slam quarter-finals (2-2 at the French Open). Her elite defence, to go with elite power, is the ideal counter to hard-hitting Keys and she is clearly the superior clay-courter, having made the finals in Madrid and Rome this year.

Eighteen-year-old sixth seed Mirra Andreeva and wildcard giant-killer Lois Boisson compete for a semi-final berth at the French Open.

World No.361 Boisson has been the story of the 2025 French Open, defeating 24th seed Elise Mertens, Anhelina Kalinina, Elsa Jacquemot and world No.3 Jessic Pegula in her maiden grand slam.

The French 22-year-old is only a year removed from tearing her ACL, making the charge all the more staggering.

A semi-finalist last year, Andreeva is one of the WTA’s big guns after twin Masters tournament wins this year and has been dominant in Paris, disposing of Cristina Bucsa, Ashlyn Krueger, Yulia Putintseva and Daria Kasatkina in straight sets.

Andreeva has the physicality and shot-making prowess to bring Boisson’s fairytale run to an end here. She has looked every bit the title contender and should be able to take the crowd out of the equation with a fast start, though the underdog is decent value with a big start.

Three-time French Open winner Novak Djokovic and 2024 runner-up Alexander Zverev meet in a quarter-final blockbuster – the superstar pair’s 14th career meeting and fifth in grand slams.

Djokovic leads the head-to-head 8-5 – including a straight-sets win at this stage of the 2019 French Open (their only match on clay since 2017) – but Zverev advanced from their Australian Open semi-final earlier this year with Djokovic retired after losing a first-set tiebreak.

Zverev won the BMW Open before his clay swing tapered off form-wise, while Djokovic had a quiet build-up before winning the recent Geneva Open.

Third seed Zverev has barely looked troubled in putting away Learner Tien (6-3 6-3 6-4), Jesper De Jong (3-6 6-1 6-2 6-3), Flavio Cobolli (6-2 7-6 6-1) and Tallon Griekspoor (6-4 3-0 ret).

Sixth seed Djokovic, meanwhile, is yet to drop a set – or lose more than 11 total games – in tearing through Mackenzie McDonald, Corentin Moutet, Filip Misolic and Cameron Norrie.

Djokovic is an incredible 50-11 in grand slam quarter-finals (12-6 at the French Open); Zverev is 9-5 (4-2 at Roland Garros) and has made the semis at the last four French Opens.

The market can barely split the pair and this has seesawing marathon written all over it.

World No.1 Jannik Sinner and surprise packet Alexander Bublik square off in the French Open quarter-finals.

Sinner leads the head-to-head 3-1, but Bublik won their most recent clash at the 2023 Halle Open.

Italy’s Sinner returned from a three-month ban to storm into the Rome Masters final and hasn’t missed a beat in Paris, beating Arthur Rinderknech in straight sets in the first round, and dropping no more than eight games against Richard Gasquet, Jiri Lehecka and 17th seed Andrey Rublev.

World No.62 Bublik has been the bolter in the men’s draw, chalking up a pair of top-10 wins. He beat James Duckworth and Henrique Rocha in straight sets either side of a stunning victory over ninth seed Alex de Minaur, fighting back from two sets down.

The 27-year-old then rolled world No.5 Jack Draper 5-7 6-3 6-2 6-4 in the fourth round.

Reigning Australian and US Open champ Sinner is an extraordinarily short $1.03 to make his second straight French Open semi-final, having won five of his last six grand slam quarter-finals.

But Bublik, appearing in his maiden major quarter-final, should provide the superstar with his toughest test so far.
