Coco Gauff has advanced to the US Open semi-finals after battling past reigning French Open champion Mirra Andreeva 2-6, 7-6 (9-7), 6-2 in a dramatic quarter-final clash.
The fourth-ranked American saved two match points in the second-set tie-break before completing the comeback in the deciding set. The victory sends the 22-year-old two-time Grand Slam champion into the last four.
Gauff will face Elena Rybakina in the semi-final after the Kazakh star defeated Zheng Qinwen 3-6, 6-1, 6-4. Rybakina is set to become the new world number one in next week’s rankings.
The other semi-final will see defending champion Aryna Sabalenka take on American third seed Jessica Pegula.
