Gauff, the 12th seed, is the second-youngest player still in the women's draw, yet she's largely regarded as one of the favourites to win the US Open.
Coco Gauff of the United States defeated Elena-Gabriela Ruse of Romania 6-2, 7-6 (4) in a second-round match in the US Open on Wednesday. Gauff, the 12th seed, is the second-youngest player still in the women’s draw, yet she’s largely regarded as one of the favourites to win the US Open, with top-ranked Iga Swiatek. Reaching the final of Roland Garros has raised the bar for this girl, perhaps most importantly in her own mind.
Gauff hit the fastest serve of the tournament thus far during her play, reaching 128 mph. It is also the third-fastest time ever recorded at the US Open, trailing only Venus Williams and Alycia Parks’ joint top time of 129mph, and the sixth-fastest time in WTA history. She will now face Madison Keys in the third round.
Coco Gauff and Madison Keys are scheduled to face one another in a third round match of the US Open 2022 on Friday, September 2. The 2022 US Open is all set to begin from August 29 till September 11.
