Gauff Routs Ostapenko
World no. 6 Coco Gauff handed Jeļena Ostapenko a straight sets drubbing in the quarterfinal on Tuesday.
The 19-year-old needed just 69 minutes to dispatch the Latvian in a one-sided contest. Gauff dropped just 7 points in the first set as she bagelled Ostapenko. The Latvian did break the American once in the second set, but Gauff quickly took control after the initial stutter to race to a 6-0, 6-2 victory.
Gauff would be relieved to have finished this quickly after back-to-back three-setters in the previous two rounds. She had beaten Elise Mertens 3-6, 6-3, 6-0 in the third round and Caroline Wozniacki 6-3, 3-6, 6-1 in the fourth round.
Gauff had also needed three sets to dispatch her opening round opponent, Laura Siegemund, rallying past the German 3-6, 6-2, 6-4.
She had a relatively easy second round, beating Mirra Andreeva 6-3, 6-2.
A quarterfinalist last year, Gauff has gone a step ahead in the final major this year. It is just the second time that she has reached this far in a Grand slam. The last time she did that, it was at the French Open in 2022, where she went on to reach the final.
Gauff is 43-13 this season and is currently on a 10-match winning streak, having come into the tournament as the Cincinnati champion. Can she keep the streak going?

Muchova Breezes Past Cirstea

Muchova, who had never gone past the fourth round at the US Open, improved to 38-12 with the win. She is 10-1 from her last 11 matches, having finished as runner-up in Cincinnati.
She has looked good throughout the tournament, having scored straight set wins over Storm Hunter, Magdalena Fręch and Taylor Townsend in the first three rounds respectively.
