American sixth seed Coco Gauff delivered a convincing 6-3 6-2 win over Russia's Mirra Andreeva on Wednesday in a battle of teenage talents to reach the third round of the U.S. Open.
Gauff, whose lead-up to the year's final Grand Slam included hardcourt titles in Washington and Cincinnati, converted four of her five break point opportunities and surrendered her serve just once during the 76-minute match in Arthur Ashe Stadium.
"But Mirra, I think she has a great future ahead of her, I've been in her position before ... she's going to be back on this stage many more times in the future." Andreeva, 16, has relished the Grand Slam stage in her debut season on tour having reached the third round at the French Open and fourth round at Wimbledon but was not able to conjure up similar magic in New York.
