Defending China Open champion Coco Gauff was happy with how she played in her quarterfinal matchup against Eva Lys en route to progressing to the semifinals of the competition.
Gauff beat the German challenger 6-3, 6-4 to qualify to mark yet another deep run in the tournament; her latest win takes her tally to 14 wins and a loss in the competition.
Following her win, the American player spoke about not being passive with her play when she had leads stating that,
“I’m happy with how I played – she’s a tough opponent and she hit some incredible shots on the run but I tried my best to play aggressive and good tennis.”
“I think staying confident in my game [was important]. Not being too passive when I had the lead, I played one passive point in the last game but after that I played good tennis.”
Gauff takes on fellow American player Amanda Anisimova in the semifinals on Saturday, October 4. Anisimova played at the Wimbledon and US Open Finals this year.
