American teenage sensation Coco Gauff rallied from a set down to reach her first semifinal of the season at the Top Seed Open.

Jabeur broke her American foe early to grab a 2-1 lead before holding her serve and taking the first set. However, Gauff displayed her fighting spirit in the second set, facing a 2-4 deficit before reeling off four consecutive games. She claimed the second set 6-4 and maintained her intensity for the rest of the match. Although Jabeur managed to hold her opening game in the final set, it was all Gauff as the teenager outhit her opponent to win the match in just under two hours.

Gauff will face compatriot Jennifer Brady in the semifinals, as Brady made quick work of Czech Marie Bouzkova in her quarterfinal bout.
