Coco Gauff defeats Mirra Andreeva to reach US Open semifinals

Coco Gauff advanced to the US Open women’s singles semifinal on Tuesday after a dramatic fourth‑round victory over Russia’s Mirra Andreeva, saving two match points in the deciding set. The American, who entered the tournament as the second seed, recovered from a 5‑6, 30‑40 deficit to win the final set 7‑5, completing a 6‑3, 4‑6, 7‑5 comeback. Andreeva, a rising 19‑year‑old who had upset world No. 5 Jessica Pegula in the third round, fought back from a set down before Gauff’s resilience turned the tide.

Gauff’s win sets up a semifinal clash with Kazakhstan’s Elena Rybakina, the fifth seed who defeated Victoria Azarenka earlier in the day. The semifinal will determine which player joins Iga Świątek in the championship match. Both Gauff and Rybakina have displayed strong form throughout the tournament, and their upcoming encounter promises a high‑level contest as the US Open moves toward its final stages.
