Coco Gauff, the third-seeded tennis sensation, delivered a stellar performance at the US Open, securing her place in the fourth round with a decisive 6-3, 6-1 win against Magdalena Frech. This victory marks her fourth consecutive year advancing to the second week of the tournament.

Gauff, aged 21, has now made her 16th appearance in the round of 16 at a major, surpassing the records of Serena Williams, Chris Evert, and Mary Joe Fernandez for the most appearances by an American woman before her 22nd birthday in the Open era.

Reflecting on her match, Gauff expressed her satisfaction with her performance, stating, "Overall I'm really happy with how I played and to be through to the next round." She also highlighted the challenges of adjusting from night matches to a daytime match and dealing with the shade on one side of the court.

Key Statistics:

• Gauff hit 76% of her first serves.
• She converted 5 out of 11 break point opportunities.
• She won seven of eight service games.

Gauff's journey continues as she prepares to face the winner of the match between Naomi Osaka and Daria Kasatkina. Her track record against Osaka stands at 3-2 in WTA career matches (1-1 in majors), and she has yet to secure a win against Kasatkina, with this potentially being their first major encounter.

Gauff emphasized the importance of enjoying the game and focusing on the process rather than the results, a mindset that clearly contributed to her success in this match. "I was putting so much pressure on myself, but I'm really out here just trying to enjoy it and not focus so much on results, but the process, and I think today showed that I was really having fun out there," she said.

This performance not only highlights Gauff's skill and determination but also her ability to overcome challenges and maintain a positive outlook, setting her apart as one of the promising talents in the world of tennis.
