Coco Gauff Advances to US Open Round of 16

Coco Gauff advanced to the fourth round of the 2025 US Open with a commanding 6-3, 6-1 victory over Poland's Magdalena Frech, displaying her most composed and stress-free performance of the tournament. She overcame earlier struggles with double faults and nerves, maintaining a strong serve and composure throughout the match, and is set to face either two-time US Open champion Naomi Osaka or 15th seed Daria Kasatkina in the next round. This marks Gauff's fourth consecutive year reaching the last 16 at Flushing Meadows, bolstering her bid for a second US Open title following her 2023 victory. Meanwhile, men's 10th seed Lorenzo Musetti advanced after a retirement, and defending men's champion Jannik Sinner continued his hardcourt Grand Slam winning streak by defeating Denis Shapovalov. Gauff acknowledged the emotional challenges she faced earlier in the tournament but emphasized that those moments helped her progress and reduce self-imposed pressure. The upcoming potential match against Osaka recalls their 2019 encounter when the younger Gauff was consoled by the then reigning champion, adding intrigue to their possible rematch.
