In Short: American Coco Gauff and British duo Joe Salisbury and Rajeev Ram advanced to the US Open semifinals, setting up a thrilling final showdown.

Coco Gauff, the 18-year-old American sensation, secured her place in the US Open semifinals with a dramatic comeback against Russian fifth seed Mirra Andreeva. Gauff saved two match points to win the match 2-6, 7-6 (7), 6-2, drawing inspiration from her compatriot Frances Tiafoe, who also recovered from a difficult first set to reach the men’s semifinals. Gauff’s victory sets up a semifinal clash with second seed Elena Rybakina.

In the men’s doubles, Joe Salisbury and Rajeev Ram, the reunited champions from 2021, 2022, and 2023, defeated Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos to reach the final. The British-American pair will face Robin Montgomery and Ashlyn Krueger, who saved three match points and came from behind to defeat the second seeds Luisa Stefani and Gabriella Dabrowski.

The Indian women’s junior team, defending champions, put on a dominant display against Pakistan, winning 19-0 to advance to the semi-finals of the Women’s Junior Asia Cup. Pooja Sahu opened the scoring for India in the seventh minute, and the team continued to score goals, overwhelming Pakistan. The Indian side will now face the winner of the South Korea–Malaysia match for a chance to secure a third consecutive final since 2023.

In the singles, Gauff’s victory sets up a semifinal match against Elena Rybakina, who will face the American teenager in what promises to be an exciting encounter. Gauff’s comeback victory highlights her resilience and determination, while the doubles victory by Salisbury and Ram adds another chapter to their successful partnership.

The final will feature the top seeds, Patten and Heliovaara, who narrowly avoided a match point in the second set after spurning four set points in the first. They will face Robin Montgomery and Ashlyn Krueger, who saved three match points and came from behind to win their match.
