Coco Gauff keeps hot streak going with easy victory over Lin Zhu in Auckland, books semifinal spot
WTAFriday, 06 January 2023 at 03:12
American tennis sensation Coco Gauff looked very comfortable in her quarterfinal victory over Lin Zhu at the ASB Classic on Friday, cruising through following a dominant performance.
The 2022 Roland Garros runner-up required only 75 minutes to secure a 6-3 6-2 victory over her Chinese opponent, and the 18-year old is yet to drop a set this week. Although Zhu managed to keep up with the top seed through the first seven games, she was broken at 3-4 as Gauff continuously applied pressure to Zhu's serve. The sole break was all she need, racing through the first set in just over 30 minutes.
Gauff resumed her attack on Zhu's serve in the second set, obtaining an early break to lead 3-1. Any chance of a comeback for the World No.84 was quelled when Gauff got a second break, before serving out the match in dominant fashion.
The World No.7 is hoping to keep the momentum going into the semifinals, where she'll face the winner between Viktoria Kuzmova and seventh seed Danka Kovinic.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
