Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula will lock horns with Leylah Fernandez and Taylor Townsend in the women's doubles semifinals of the French Open on Friday. Gaudd and Pegula previously beat their next opponents 7-6 (6), 6-2 in the final of the Miami Open earlier this year.

Gauff's singles journey at the clay-court Major came to an end at the quarterfinals stage. She was beaten 6-4, 6-2 by World No. 1 Iga Swiatek in a rematch of last year's final.

However, the American still has a chance of finishing the tournament with silverware as she is in contention in the women's doubles tournament. Gauff and Pegula finished as the runners-up in last year's event and were seeded second at the 2023 French Open.

The American duo started by beating Laura Siegemund and Vera Zvonareva 6-2, 6-2. They followed it up with a 6-3, 6-1 win over Victoria Azarenka and Beatriz Haddad Maia, thus avenging their defeat in the Madrid Open final.

The duo then came back from a set down to win 6-7 (4), 6-4, 6-2 against Marta Kostyuk and Irina-Camelia Begu to set up a quarterfinal clash against Anna Bondar and Greet Minnen. Gauff and Pegula defeated them 6-2, 7-6 (2) to reach the women's doubles semifinals at the French Open for the second year in a row.

Leylah Fernandez and Taylor Townsend, meanwhile, teamed up only this year. They have produced some good performances in the past few months, reaching the final of the Miami Open and the semifinals of the Madrid Open.

The Canadian-American duo were seeded 10th at the French Open. They began the tournament with a 6-2, 6-2 win over Tatjana Maria and Elisabetta Cocciaretto.

Fernandez and Townsend then defeated Dalma Galfi and Katarzyna Piter 4-6, 6-2, 7-5. They followed that up by ousting eighth seeds Luisa Stefani and Gabriela Dabrowski 6-4, 4-6, 6-2 to reach the quarterfinals.

Here, Fernandez and Townsend beat 14th seeds Chan Hao-ching and Latisha Chan 6-3, 6-3 to book their place in the semifinals.
