Linette Stuns Gauff in Miami to Secure Quarterfinal Spot
Another seeded player has fallen in the women's draw at Miami.
Coco Gauff entered her match against world No. 34 Magda Linette as the favorite, but it was the Polish player who completely dominated play on the center court.
Capitalizing on a poor performance from the world No. 3 (45 unforced errors and 12 double faults), Linette remained solid throughout the match to win in straight sets (6-4, 6-4).
Linette, who had never advanced past the Round of 16 in Miami, will now compete for a spot in the semifinals against Jasmine Paolini.
