Gauff’s performance against Frech showcased her growing confidence on the big stage. Despite some inconsistency earlier in the tournament—including being broken four times and committing seven double faults in her three-set win over Donna Vekic—Gauff found her rhythm and advanced comfortably. Her progress comes after a bold decision to hire a new coach just days before the start of the tournament, a move that appears to be paying off.
The U.S. Open women’s draw remains competitive, with six Americans still in contention as the tournament heads into the second week. Top seeds include Aryna Sabalenka, Gauff, and Iga Swiatek. The women’s singles tournament runs through Saturday, September 6, and can be watched live on ESPN and streaming platforms.
Gauff, a native of Delray Beach, Florida, stands at 5’9″ and weighs 121 lbs. Her career continues to be on an upward trajectory, highlighted by her ability to adjust her game and her resilience under pressure. As she prepares to face Osaka, Gauff draws inspiration from other athletes, notably Olympic gymnast Simone Biles, who was spotted supporting her in the crowd.
The Gauff–Osaka matchup is one of the standout encounters of the fourth round and will be closely followed by fans and analysts alike. For more on Coco Gauff’s stats and career highlights, visit her official WTA profile or her ESPN player page.
