The Round of 16 showdown between former U.S. Open champions Coco Gauff and Naomi Osaka was one of the most highly-anticipated of the major tournament thus far. While the American audience definitely leaned towards rooting for Gauff, Osaka dominated in the match on Monday afternoon.
The two-time U.S. Open champion won 6-3, 6-2 over the top-ranked American star and 2023 champion. Osaka will move onto the quarterfinals, which is the furthest she's reached at the U.S. Open since winning the tournament in 2020. Osaka's only reached five major quarterfinals in her career; she won four of those titles.
