Coco Gauff reaches the US Open semifinals after rallying from a set down to defeat Mirra Andreeva in the quarter-final. Multiple outlets report that Gauff saved two match points during a second-set tiebreak and then went on to win the match in three sets.
The match is described as an “incredible comeback,” with coverage noting Andreeva takes the first set 6-2 and holds two match points in the second-set tiebreak before Gauff turns it around. In the third set, Gauff builds momentum and wins 6-2. Sources consistently frame the turning point as Gauff preventing defeat when Andreeva looked close to closing out the match.
All reports also agree on the semifinal matchup: Gauff will play Elena Rybakina, who is listed as the incoming world number one. Several outlets add that Rybakina’s world number one position is driven by her straight-sets win over Zheng Qinwen earlier, while others focus on the contrast between Gauff’s survival and the upcoming title-status encounter.
