America’s Coco Gauff has reached the US Open semi-final round for the first time, after thrashing Jelena Ostapenko in straight sets on Tuesday, 5 September 2023.
The sixth-seeded Gauff dominated Latvia’s 20th seed Ostapenko from start to finish, winning 6-0, 6-2 in just 1hr 8min.
Speaking after her victory, Gauff said: “Obviously never got to semis, but I don’t know, I just feel so fresh, to be honest. I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been tricking myself or maybe when this is over I’m going to hit a wall. But I’m really proud of how I’m able to get through these matches.”
Gauff, 19, is the first American teenager to reach the US Open semi-final since 2001.
