World No. 6 Coco Gauff will lock horns with 2017 French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko in the quarterfinals of the 2023 US Open on Tuesday.
Gauff fought past Laura Siegmund, Mirra Andreeva, and Elise Mertens to set up a fourth round clash against former World No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki. The teenager claimed the first set, but the veteran stormed back to take the second set.
Wozniacki started the third set by securing a break of serve, but that marked the end of the road for her. Gauff reeled off the next six games to score a 6-3, 3-6, 6-1 victory.
Ostapenko faced defending champion Iga Swiatek in the fourth round. The Latvian dropped the first set but turned things around to stage a comeback and win the match 3-6, 6-3, 6-1.
With the win, Ostapenko extended her winning record against Swiatek to 4-0. The latter's defeat has also ensured that Aryna Sabalenka will be crowned as the new World No. 1 at the conclusion of the tournament.
Ostapenko now finds herself in the quarterfinals of the US Open for the first time in her career. She won her most recent encounter with Gauff, which was at this year's Australian Open. The teenager triumphed in their only other meeting, which was in the final of the 2019 Linz Open.
Ostapenko has been pushed to three sets in all of her matches here so far, while Gauff was taken to a decider thrice as well. Both have been quite shaky, but their resilience has pushed them over the finish line.
With a semifinal spot on the line, expect nothing but the best from these two. Here are all the details regarding their upcoming battle:
