New York, September 8 (Daily Kiran) : Coco Gauff has successfully reached the quarterfinals of the 2026 US Open women’s singles by defeating Eva Jovic with a score of 6-1, 6-4. This loss marks the end of Jovic’s remarkable journey in her first Grand Slam fourth round appearance.
Initially, the match showcased a competitive spirit between Gauff and Jovic. However, once Gauff found her rhythm, she dominated the game, leaving Jovic with limited opportunities. The reigning champion from 2023 established strong control over the match, breaking Jovic’s serve twice to secure the first set.
In the second set, Jovic appeared more comfortable and managed to save her serve twice before finally breaking through. For a brief moment, it seemed she might turn the match in her favor. Nevertheless, Gauff quickly responded, capitalizing on Jovic’s errors at critical moments. Jovic ended the match with only nine winners, overshadowed by 30 unforced errors, allowing Gauff to clinch the victory without much trouble.
Looking ahead, Gauff will face Mira Andreeva in the quarterfinals. Earlier in the tournament, Elena Rybakina defeated former champion Naomi Osaka 6-1, 6-4, ending Osaka’s hopes of securing a third US Open title. Rybakina will now compete against Olympic champion Zheng Qinwen in the quarterfinals.
