Gauff wins but mixed fortunes for home hopes at US Open
Coco Gauff reaches the US Open fourth round but last year's finalist Amanda Anisimova and Madison Keys go out on a mixed day for home hopes.
Coco Gauff advanced to the fourth round at the US Open, while compatriots Amanda Anisimova and Madison Keys failed to progress, marking a mixed day for home hopes in New York. The 22-year-old Gauff, who won the 2023 US Open, defeated Spain's Cristina Bucsa 6-3 6-4 to secure her place in the second week. However, Keys fell short in her bid for a first fourth-round appearance since the 2023 Australian Open, losing 1-6 7-6 (7-3) 7-5 to China's Zheng Qinwen.
Anisimova, the 2025 Australian Open winner, also exited in straight sets, losing to Russia's Anastasia Potapova. With Gauff and Jessica Pegula, Taylor Townsend, and Emma Navarro, there could be up to five American women in the last 16. American players could also contest six of the eight fourth-round matches in the men's draw.
