Coco Gauff defeated 2017 French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko 6-0, 6-2 on Tuesday.
Coco Gauff dealt just fine with the heat, the humidity, her big-hitting opponent and the task of trying to reach the U.S. Open semifinals for the first time, defeating 2017 French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko 6-0, 6-2 on Tuesday.
Coco Gauff of the USA after beating Jelena Ostapenko of Latvia on day nine of the 2023 U.S. Open tennis tournament at USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, on Sept 5, 2023; Flushing, NY. Gauff made the quarterfinals at Flushing Meadows last year, but fell to Caroline Garcia, according toThis was the 16th victory in her past 17 matches for Gauff - a first-round exit at Wimbledon in July sure feels like ages ago.
In the semifinals Thursday, Gauff will face No. 10 Karolina Muchova of the Czech Republic or No. 30 Sorana Cirstea of Romania. They were scheduled to play Tuesday night. When Gauff and Ostapenko started just past noon in Arthur Ashe Stadium on Tuesday, the temperature was at 90 degrees Fahrenheit and the humidity at 55%. At the break before the second set, Ostapenko headed to the locker room, and Gauff sat on the sideline bench with a white towel packed with ice around her neck.
That's because Ostapenko kept missing, to the tune of 10 unforced errors in that span alone. After many of those miscues, she would turn toward her guest box and glare at her entourage, as if perhaps it were their fault.
