Coco Gauff is tracking nicely ahead of another crack at the US Open, the No.2 seed securing her place in the quarter-finals in Cincinnati with a 6-2 6-4 win over Lucia Bronzetti.
The American, who was awarded a walkover by Dayana Yastremska in the previous round, took just 79 minutes to beat the Italian and reach the last eight of a tournament for the first time since claiming her second grand slam at the French Open.
"For the most part I played aggressive. Maybe got a bit passive in some of those games. But it's tough. The balls are super light and they fly," the 2023 US Open winner said.
