Coco Gauff completed the US Open women’s quarterfinal lineup by beating fellow American Iva Jovic 6-1, 6-4 in 1 hour and 33 minutes.
The fourth-ranked Gauff converted five of 11 break points and said that taking her chances finally made the difference. She also described a 24-shot rally late in the match, saying one game felt like running a marathon and left her out of breath on court for perhaps the first time in a long while.
I think the difference was that I finally managed to take advantage of the break opportunities.
Gauff, the 2023 champion in New York, will next face fifth-ranked Russian Mirra Andreeva. Gauff has won all five of their previous meetings, but Andreeva took this year’s French Open title from her. Gauff won Roland Garros in 2025.
The other women’s quarterfinals will feature Aryna Sabalenka against Linda Noskova, Jessica Pegula against Emma Navarro, and Qinwen Zheng against Elena Rybakina.
Honestly, there was one game where I felt like I was running a marathon. That helped me get through it. It was probably the first time in a long time that I ran out of breath on a court.
