Gauff Overcomes Setback to Reach US Open Semifinals

Coco Gauff survived a turbulent quarter‑final at the US Open, turning a shaky start into a three‑set victory over fifth‑seeded Mirra Andreeva at Arthur Ashe Stadium. The 22‑year‑old, who had been in the midst of a 20‑set winning streak, fell behind early, losing the first four games and the opening set in 26 minutes before rallying to win the match.

Gauff’s performance was marked by 12 double faults and 42 unforced errors, most of them on forehand shots, yet she managed to stay in the match. She faced two one‑point deficits during a tense second‑set tiebreaker but ultimately prevailed, securing the third set and the win. The match highlighted her ability to adapt quickly under pressure, a skill that has become increasingly rare on the women’s tour.

With the victory, Gauff advances to the US Open semi‑finals, where she will face the next opponent in the women’s draw. The win preserves her momentum and keeps her in contention for the tournament title.
