Coco Gauff passed a tough test to qualify for the last 16 of the US Open on Friday. The defending champion turned the tables on Elena Svitolina to win in two hours and three sets (3-6, 6-3, 6-3).

Initially dominated, the American managed to break in the middle of the 2nd set to make the difference. But she had another scare at the end of the 3rd set. She led 5-2, 40-00 on her serve, but lost the game, failing to convert any of her three consecutive match points. But she recovered perfectly, winning the next four points to make the break and close out the match.

Gauff will now face Marta Kostyuk or Emma Navarro in her bid to reach the quarter-finals.

Svitolina E • 27

Gauff C • 3

3e, 6763 points

14e, 2606 points

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Chwalinska and Huergo at the Quito tournament? The match was played to completion and on time. If TT feels the match is one sided, and of course it was, then don't put it up for prediction. This is getting irritating.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?

Steffi Graf completed a Golden Slam (not just a career Grand Slam) when she was 19. She is the only person to accomplish that, winning the four majors plus Olympic gold the same calendar year.
