Coco Gauff, the fourth-seeded American tennis player, advanced to the fourth round of the US Open on Saturday after defeating Spain's Cristina Bucsa in straight sets. Gauff, who won the tournament in 2023, defeated the 40th ranked Bucsa 6-3, 6-4 in 88 minutes. Gauff, known for her tricky playing style, stated that Bucsa posed a challenge and it was difficult for her to establish a rhythm.
Despite trailing 1-3 in the first set, Gauff won the next five games, including a crucial 4-3 hold, despite two consecutive double faults. Gauff broke the serve in the second set, leading 4-3, but gave it back in the next game. She then broke again and served out the match successfully. Gauff will now face either American Iva Jovic or Philippine player Alex Eala.
