"A match up I never thought I would have to play": Gauff never contemplated exciting clash with Wozniacki at US Open
WTA
From one player that is on top of her game to another that is already showing why she was missed. Coco Gauff will face off against Caroline Wozniacki in the fourth round of the US Open for a spot in the Quarter-Finals.
Gauff came from a set down to defeat Elise Mertens, while Wozniacki sealed victory in the battle of the comeback against Jennifer Brady.
The former World No.1 is an interesting proposition for opponents especially for someone like Gauff who never got the chance first time around. This lends itself to some dream matches and in this case, it is one that Gauff is buzzing to play.
"A match up I never thought I would have to play," Gauff said. "When she retired, I remember I might have said in an interview that I wish I would have played her. So that wish came true, so I am really excited."
"I know really it's a battle of generations, she is still like fit and going strong so I think that is going to be an exciting match and I know she’s a lot of supporters but hopefully you guys came back for me on that one too," she added.
