Overview

  • Coco Gauff defeated Wang Xinyu 6-3, 6-2 in 70 minutes to reach the third round at the Cincinnati Open.
  • She will face Dayana Yastremska—who stunned her at Wimbledon—in a head-to-head on Center Court not before 3 p.m. local time.
  • Gauff said she views the match as a measure of her current form rather than a bid for revenge.
  • Despite season-long serving inconsistency that has led to multiple double faults, she made key mid-match corrections to secure her victory.
  • No. 4 seed Jessica Pegula advanced with a 6-4, 6-3 win over Kimberly Birrell and will play Magda Linette next, while Barbora Krejcikova is slated to face lucky loser Iva Jovic in the third round.
