Coco Gauff battled back from two match points down to defeat Mirra Andreeva in the US Open quarterfinals. She will next face Elena Rybakina for a place in the final.
American Coco Gauff has advanced to the semifinals of the US Open after overcoming a scare in her quarterfinal match against Russia's Mirra Andreeva.
Gauff found herself facing elimination when Andreeva held two match points during the contest. However, the American managed to save both opportunities and turn the match around, ultimately securing the win and her spot in the last four of the tournament.
The victory sets up a semifinal showdown between Gauff and Kazakhstan's Elena Rybakina, who has also booked her place in the final four of the women's singles draw.
The US Open is one of tennis's four Grand Slam events, and reaching the semifinal stage represents a significant achievement on one of the sport's biggest stages. Having come through such a tense quarterfinal, Gauff will look to carry that momentum into her next match against Rybakina, with a place in the US Open final at stake.
