Coco Gauff Secures 50th WTA Win with Quarterfinal Victory at Wuhan Open

Posted : 11 October 2024

World No. 4 Coco Gauff achieved her 50th WTA main draw victory of the year by defeating Magda Linette 6-0, 6-4 in the quarterfinals of the Wuhan Open on Friday. This victory sets the stage for a potential semifinal matchup against top seed Aryna Sabalenka. Gauff, the former US Open champion, has been working with new coach Matt Daly and has made some adjustments to her grip as she continues to enhance her game.

 

Despite struggling with double faults throughout both sets, Gauff showcased her strong return game, taking advantage of Linette's errors. In her post-match interview, the 20-year-old acknowledged her overall performance, stating, "I played well... overall, maybe two bad games," while extending her winning streak to nine matches.

 

Linette had a couple of opportunities to break Gauff's serve in the first set, but Gauff saved four break points, ultimately winning 14 of 21 return points. Linette, a former Australian Open semifinalist, struggled with her consistency, leading to a bagel in the opening set.

 

The second set proved to be more competitive, but Gauff capitalized on one of Linette's 22 unforced errors to secure a crucial break in the seventh game. This break was pivotal in sealing her victory. Gauff will now await the result of the quarterfinal between US Open champion Sabalenka and Magdalena Frech, with the winner set to face her on Saturday. "I've played them both before, they're tough opponents," Gauff commented, looking ahead to the challenge.
