No. 3 Coco Gauff Has Eyes On Winning Trophy At Home, Beats Océane Dodin To Advance At Miami Open

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla.: Third-ranked Coco Gauff got here from behind within the first set to beat Océane Dodin 6-4, 6-0 and advance to the fourth spherical of the Miami Open for the second time in her profession.

Gauff gained 10 straight video games after Dodin took a 4-2 lead within the opening set, thanks partly to 9 double-faults by Dodin at important moments.

Gauff has only one loss in her previous 23 matches within the United States. That defeat got here in opposition to Maria Sakkari at Indian Wells earlier this month.

Gauff, who turned 20 on March 13, is the youngest American participant to carry a high three seed at Miami. The reigning U.S. Open champion, who’s from South Florida, attended the occasion rising up and mentioned capturing a title there could be particular.

“It would be really cool to win here at home,” mentioned Gauff, who was born in Delray Beach, Florida. (*3*)

Gauff will face the winner between Naomi Osaka and Twenty seventh-ranked Caroline Garcia, which might be performed later Sunday afternoon.
