Coco Gauff beat world number one Iga Swiatek for the first time in eight meetings on Saturday to advance to the Cincinnati Open final as the American teenager's level continues to rise ahead of the upcoming U.S. Open.
Gauff served big and played sensational defense en route to a 7-6 3-6 6-4 win over the 22-year-old Pole and will face either world number two Aryna Sabalenka or Czech Karolina Muchova in Sunday's final.
"I knew playing her was going to be tough, nothing was going to be given to me today," she told Tennis Channel.
