Coco Gauff advances to the US Open third round after defeating Paula Badosa in a tightly contested match. She wins 6-4, 7-6(5) (reported as 7-6 with a 7-5 tiebreak in one account), securing passage to the next stage at Flushing for the fifth consecutive year.
Multiple outlets describe the win as a battle between the two players. One report notes that Gauff had lost five of their previous eight meetings, but she overcomes that history to progress. The coverage emphasizes the close nature of the second set, with Badosa pushing the match to a tiebreak before Gauff closes it out. Another outlet frames the result as a straight-sets victory, consistent with the overall match score reported across the sources.
Overall, the reports agree on the opponent, the match outcome, and the advancement to the third round, differing only in how the tiebreak score is expressed and how the match dynamic is characterized.
