Coco Gauff: US Open champion books her place in the fourth round of Miami Open

Published

on

Third seed Coco Gauff reeled off 10 games in a row to book her place in the fourth round of the Miami Open with a 6-4 6-0 victory over Oceane Dodin.

Gauff trailed 4-2 in the first set and had to save two break points to avoid falling further behind before clicking into top gear against Dodin, who contributed to her own downfall with consecutive double faults when serving for a 5-3 lead.

The US Open champion has now won 22 of her last 23 matches on home soil dating back to her Washington title run last July.

“It would be really cool to win here at home,” said Gauff, who was born in Delray Beach, Florida.

“I think the best part about winning here is just being able to drive home with the trophy and not have to fly and pack. And I’m a Dolphins fan, so maybe if I win here they can win another trophy at the Super Bowl

She will face Caroline Garcia for a place in the quarter-finals after the Frenchwoman beat former world No 1 Naomi Osaka 7-6 7-5.

“Caroline’s always a tough player to play,” US Open champion Gauff said in her post-match press conference. “I think I lost to her the most recent time.

She’s tough. We all know how she plays. Takes the ball super early, plays very aggressive.

“I think for me it’s going to be important that I just kind of stick to my game and get the ball deep in the court and not let her run me around on the court.”

Gauff and Garcia have split their four prior meetings, with their last meeting coming at the 2022 WTA Finals in Fort Worth, Texas.

There we have it. Davante Adams has officially requested a trade from the Raiders. He has quit on the team. I don’t know about the rest of you, but I am not going to tolerate quitters on this team. If you are here, you are here, and you work your tail off for the betterment of the team. I’m sure I’ll catch heat for this one, but if he’s gonna quit on the Raiders, then we don’t need him. No one is bigger than the shield.
