Coco Gauff advances to US Open third round
[ad_1]
Cori Gauff did not make it easy for herself but succeeded in the essentials: winning in two sets (6-2, 7-6) and not embarking on an uncertain decisive round to qualify for the 3rd round of the US Open. After a perfectly negotiated first set, taking advantage in particular of the many gifts from her opponent Elena-Gabriela Ruse (3 winning moves for 12 unforced errors), Roland-Garros finalist got scared.
If she immediately caught up with a break conceded at the start of the second set, she was again surprised even seeing her opponent serve for the set and afford two balls to pick up the score (5-4, 40-15). Moment chosen by “Coco” to chain four points in a row, unbreak and overall master the tie-break.
She will face her compatriot Madison Keys, finalist of the tournament in 2017, in the next round to offer herself a place in the round of 16. A 100% American match that would allow him to win the best result of his (young) career in his national Grand Slam.
