Lys will face Gauff on September 30, 2025, in what promises to be an exciting quarterfinal clash.
Eva Lys' exceptional performance in Beijing has put her on the map of world tennis. She continues to make her country proud, and her semifinal appearance in a WTA 1000 tournament is a testament to her growing prowess on the court.
