Overview

  • Dayana Yastremska withdrew before their scheduled Cincinnati match due to severe antibiotic-related intoxication, granting Gauff a walkover into the round of 16.
  • Gauff then defeated Lucia Bronzetti 6-2, 6-4 to secure a spot in the Cincinnati Open quarter-finals.
  • The world No. 2 confirmed she will skip the US Open’s new mixed doubles event because sponsor commitments and the tight Ohio-to-New York transition risk depleting her energy.
  • This marks Gauff’s third WTA 1000 quarter-final appearance of 2025 following runs to the finals in Madrid and Rome.
  • Her decision underscores the calendar pressures facing top players under the US Open’s condensed mixed doubles format.
