Coco Gauff's performance against Iva Jovic was nothing short of impressive, as she found her finest level of the fortnight to secure her place in the quarter-finals. The match, which started with both players under pressure, saw Gauff break serve twice in the opening three games, a stretch that lasted 17 minutes. Gauff's emotional energy began to show as she won 13 of the final 15 points to wrap up the first set in just 33 minutes.
Gauff's progress ensured the top six seeds have reached the US Open women's last eight for the first time since 1998, a testament to the strength in depth at the top of the WTA Tour. The 22-year-old, who won the 2023 title in New York, continues her quest for a third major title against French Open champion Mirra Andreeva on Wednesday. Gauff, who could become world number one if she wins the title, responded with a resounding victory, giving little indication of how she would quickly seize control.
