Coco Gauff has a chance to sweep the French Open after the 18-year-old and her partner Jessica Pegula advanced to the doubles final at Roland Garros.

The American duo defeated their fellow countrywomen Madison Keys and Taylor Townsend 6-4, 7-6 (7-4) in Friday’s semifinal to move on to Sunday’s championship match.

Gauff will have a full schedule as she prepares to take on No. 1 Iga Swiatek in the singles final Saturday.

Going to be a busy weekend for Coco 😎

Last year, Barbora Krejcikova became just the seventh woman ever, and the first since 2000, to win the singles and doubles titles in Paris.

Gauff and Pegula will take on French team Caroline Garcia and Kristina Mladenovic, who beat Lyudmyla Kichenok and Jelena Ostapenko in three sets (2-6, 6-4, 6-2) in the other semifinal.
