See you in the final 👋 @CocoGauff claims victory over Kovinic 6-0, 6-2 to reach the title match, her first since Roland-Garros 2022 #ASBClassic
Gauff sweeps past Kovinic in dominant fashion, secures spot in Auckland final
WTASaturday, 07 January 2023 at 05:11
In one of her best displays since reaching the Roland Garros final last year Coco Gauff powered past Danka Kovinic to reach the final of the ASB Classic in Auckland.
Gauff required just 72 minutes to record the 6-0 6-2 victory, employing a mix of her powerful baseline game with several forays to the net. The American obtained an early break to lead 2-0, and never looked back as she reeled off the next four games to record a bagel in just 24 minutes.
It seemed like Gauff had her eyes set on a double bagel, as she resumed her dominance by securing another break to lead 2-0 in the second set. However, Kovinic was finally able to break 18-year old's serve, stopping a run of eight consecutive games won by the American. Nonetheless, it was to no avail as Gauff quickly obtained another break, and finally closed out the match despite Kovinic saving four match points.
