Gauff digs deep to beat Osorio in China Open second round
Coco Gauff overcame shaky serving to beat Camila Osorio 7-6 (7/4), 4-6, 6-2 in the China Open second round.
On Saturday, Coco Gauff secured her place in the China Open women's singles quarter-finals with a hard-fought victory over Colombia's Camila Osorio. Despite struggling with her serving, Gauff managed to overcome Osorio 7-6 (7/4), 4-6, 6-2. The match extended to three sets, with Osorio putting up a resilient fight after committing double faults during a tense first-set tie-break.
Gauff, currently ranked fourth in the world, relied on her powerful backhand and effective cross-court shots to neutralize the Colombian's efforts. The 22-year-old American acknowledged the challenging nature of the encounter, stating, "Just happy with how I was able to reset." Gauff will face either Spain's Cristina Bucsa or China's Sun Xinran next, while world number one Elena Rybakina will take on Armenia's Alina Charaeva in a later night session.
In the men's draw, world number one Alexander Zverev will face home hopeful Shang Juncheng, hoping to potentially challenge Novak Djokovic in the quarter-finals.
