Coco Gauff overcame some uneven serving early in the second round of the US Open before stretching her winning streak to nine matches with a 6-4, 6-0 victory over Tatjana Maria on Wednesday night.
overcame some uneven serving early in the second round of the US Open before stretching her winning streak to nine matches at the site of her first Grand Slam title with a 6-4, 6-0 victory over 99th-rankedGauff, a 20-year-old from Florida, had all sorts of trouble at the outset under the lights at a hot and muggy Arthur Ashe Stadium against Maria, a 37-year-old from Germany who made it to the Wimbledon semifinals two years ago and hits slices on nearly every forehand and backhand.
Her body language was frequently negative after some of the mistakes. Gauff would look at her guest box and put her palms up as if to say,"What is going on?" She would roll her eyes or put a hand on a hip, including after one wild swinging volley that sailed several feet long. "I should have done that more in the first," the No. 3-seeded Gauff said about her success when moving forward.Gauff arrived in New York off a series of early exits elsewhere. That included two consecutive losses at hard-court tuneup events this month, which followed eliminations in the fourth round at Wimbledon and the third round of the Paris Olympics, both in July.. She put only 43% of her first serves in play Wednesday, way down from the 64% mark in her opening match.
