That’s all for this blog – we’ll have a new one along, for the evening session, coming up shortly. Bye for now.
Gauff has a chat on court: “It feels insane. Ashe Stadium chanting my name … I was trying to stay in the moment … I can’t believe you guys were chanting like that, it was crazy!”
On the conditions: “I’m from Florida, so the hotter the better.”
What will she do on her day off tomorrow, before a quarter-final against Caroline Garcia? “Honestly I just practice and then I just scroll on TikTok all day, to be honest.”
Gauff belts a few tennis balls into the cheering crowd, and gets another massive ovation. She is a special player.
