Gauff loses his crown!
1 min to read
No real surprise there.
Coco Gauff arrived in New York in a declining state of confidence (3 wins in 6 matches), and was unable to complete the double and retain the title she won in 2023.
Already badly beaten by Svitolina in the third round (3-6, 6-3, 6-3), she succumbed on Sunday to her compatriot Emma Navarro, ranked 12th in the world (6-3, 4-6, 6-3).
The 20-year-old prodigy gave it her all throughout the match, but her opponent's tactics and her own inconsistency (61 unforced errors) proved too much for her.
In terms of rankings, she loses out big time, dropping out of the world's top 5 and into 6th place.
