Naomi Osaka produced a commanding performance to knock out third seed Coco Gauff 6-3 6-2 in a highly anticipated fourth round showdown between two former U.S. Open champions.
After years of bitter disappointment at the year’s final major, Osaka showed flashes of her old brilliance on Monday as she took control of the match from the start, while 2023 champion Gauff struggled with her forehand and her serve.
The result carried Osaka into the Flushing Meadows quarterfinals for the first time in five years and she will next play Czech 11th seed Karolina Muchova.
