Gauff Marches On: Young American Beats Jovic in Thrilling US Open Showdown
Coco Gauff dominated teenage rival Iva Jovic in an all-American US Open showdown on Monday, beating her 6-1 6-4. The No 4 seed had climbed aboard her own American Express and sealed the first set in barely half an hour.
Jovic showed some grit and stylish shot-making but ultimately succumbed to Gauff's expertise. This was her first trip to the fourth round, and she won't be leaving anytime soon - she will return to Arthur Ashe before too long.
Gauff, now just three victories away from winning her second US Open title, has reached the quarterfinals without dropping a set. Her next opponent is 19-year-old Mirra Andreeva, who edged past Anastasia Potapova on Monday.
