Coco Gauff battles previous Caroline Wozniacki to maintain US Open dream alive

The momentum was properly and actually with the house hero because it was one other break of serve for Gauff, who had the possibility to shut out the match. And from an early break down at 0-1 within the last set, the world No 6 earned an ethical bagel with six video games in a row to safe her spot within the final eight.

Gauff might have one other robust take a look at forward of her within the quarter-final as she faces the winner of a conflict between Iga Swiatek and Jelena Ostapenko. Prior to Cincinnati, the 19-year-old had by no means even taken a set off of world No 1 Swiatek in seven conferences.

But the world No 6 received the most important win of her profession over the four-time Major champion when she beat her 7-6(2) 3-6 6-4 within the semi-final on the Cincinnati Open en path to the title. And Gauff can be hoping that she will be able to replicate her previous heroics, beating Swiatek in the event that they meet within the quarter-final earlier than occurring to carry the trophy.
