Coco Gauff rallies to beat Mirra Andreeva in a US Open quarter-final, saving two match points before winning in three sets. The victory puts Gauff into the semi-finals.
Multiple outlets report that the match features a late comeback after Andreeva had opportunities to close it out. Gauff’s win sets up a semi-final against Elena Rybakina, described as the incoming or newly crowned world number one across reports. While outlets vary slightly in wording about timing—such as “incoming” versus “newly-crowned”—they agree on the semi-final opponent and the key turning point: Gauff saves two match points.
The differing emphasis is mainly narrative, with some outlets highlighting the “incredible comeback,” while others focus more directly on the match-point saves and the resulting bracket position. All accounts treat the semi-final matchup with Rybakina as the immediate outcome of Gauff’s quarter-final performance.
