Gauff reaches Toronto semis after Bencic withdraws
On Tuesday, Coco Gauff secured a spot in the Canadian Open semi-finals, advancing without a single point played due to Belinda Bencic's withdrawal from their quarter-final with a hip injury. The 22-year-old American, the 2023 U.S. Open champion, now faces either Naomi Osaka or Elena Rybakina for the Toronto title. Gauff's triumph marks her 16th WTA 1000 semi-final appearance, as she strives for her maiden title following a series of narrow defeats.
The past year has seen Gauff fall short in Miami, Rome, and Wimbledon's semi-finals. She has recently incorporated new tactics into her game, and her consistent performance in Toronto, where she hasn't lost a set, underscores her readiness for the U.S. Open.
