Coco Gauff Cruises Past Jeanjean 6-3, 6-0 to Reach Madrid Open Third Round

A cleaner serve with a confident return hints at growing comfort on Madrid’s high-altitude clay.

Overview

  • - Coco Gauff advanced at the Madrid Open with a 6-3, 6-0 win over Léolia Jeanjean, a straight-sets result built on sustained pressure on return.
  • - She converted 7 of 16 break points and wrapped the match in 82 minutes, winning about 62% of return points and more than 60% of points behind her first serve.
  • - The match featured a notable serving milestone as she finished without a double fault for the first time in seven months, with Tennis Channel data citing an 80% first-serve percentage.
  • - Gauff called a medical timeout for a thumb blister yet finished strongly, later saying clay often leaves her with “new scars” and that Madrid’s altitude has helped her serve.
  • - Coverage conflicts on her next opponent, with one report pointing to Anastasia Potapova as a lucky loser replacement after Madison Keys withdrew and another listing Sorana Cirstea, leaving the immediate draw unclear.
