Gauff's Spectacular Performance at Canadian Open: Eliminates Vondrousova to Secure Quarterfinal Spot
WTAFriday, 11 August 2023 at 05:26
Coco Gauff continues her streak and breezes past Marketa Vondrousova to secure a spot among the top eight at the National Bank Open in Montreal, winning 6-3, 6-0.
The American has found a new momentum since her early exit from Wimbledon. Last week, she clinched the title at the DC Open, defeating her opponents with ease to claim her first WTA 500 title.
With victories over players like Belinda Bencic, Liudmila Samsonova, and Maria Sakkari, the 19-year-old tennis player reaffirmed her form this week with a win against Katie Boulter, positioning herself as a contender for the upcoming US Open.

In this match, she faced the most recent Wimbledon champion, Marketa Vondrousova. The Czech player had been the surprise package at SW19, and there were doubts about whether she could maintain her level during the hardcourt swing.
In her earlier matches at the Canadian Open, Vondrousova defeated Mayar Sherif and put up a fight against Caroline Wozniacki, ultimately advancing to set up another encounter with a top-10 player. In their previous and only meeting, Gauff emerged victorious at the 2021 Dubai Open with a score of 3-6, 6-0, 6-4.
The first set started evenly, with both players exchanging breaks in the opening three games. Gauff secured another break in the sixth game, which proved decisive. Although she had a break point at 5-2, the American had to wait until the next game to close out the set on her serve.
Vondrousova's spirits dampened in the second set as she faced an early break from a determined Coco Gauff. Gauff displayed aggressiveness in her returns and left no room for the recent Wimbledon champion. A dominant 6-0 finish sealed the victory for the world No. 7, extending her confidence and a winning streak of seven consecutive matches.
The quarterfinals will feature an exciting showdown against her friend and doubles partner, Jessica Pegula. Their most recent encounter was at the Eastbourne Open during the grass season, where Coco secured a straight-set victory. However, their only previous hardcourt encounter resulted in a win for Pegula in 2022.

- As for ITIA -- who, or what entity, oversees this untrustworthy organization?? Too many recent cases of suspensions over tests proving minimal stats at best. Neither Iga nor Simona showed even a hint at prolonged use. Sinner, we don't know because the secrecy was extreme. Now we find ITIA flat-out LIED about speaking directly with the manufacturer of the drug in question associated with Iga. Are we to believe ITIA can be trusted? Not according to the past few years of questionable corporate conduct. ITIA can no longer be trusted to fairly regulate nor investigate itself... so who or what will??mandoist06-12-2024
