Down a break to Belinda Bencic and exasperated by a string of missed break-point chances, Gauff let out a frustrated, “So many chances.” A few points later, that cry became a turning point, as she broke back for 3-3 and never looked back.
That swing sparked a defiant sprint to the finish. Gauff won the last four games to close out a 6-3, 1-6, 6-3 victory in 2 hours and 15 minutes, beating Bencic for the fifth time in seven meetings at the WTA Tour Driven by Mercedes-Benz level and booking a semifinal against Karolina Muchova.
More to come…
