Hello and welcome to coverage of the first US Open women’s quarter-final as Coco Gauff takes on Jelena Ostapenko for a place in the last four.
Both players have had to fight their way to this stage of the tournament with Saturday’s final close. Gauff will enjoy the majority of support as a local player, but Ostapenko’s tennis still commands attention.
On the hard courts of Melbourne Park at the Australian Open in January, Ostapenko defeated Gauff convincingly in the fourth round.
And Gauff says she is well aware of the threat her opponent poses.
“With Jelena, she’s a striker, a ball striker,” she said. “I lost to her at the Australian Open this year. She’s hot or cold, to be honest. Same thing, honestly. Just stay in the game. I could get more free points with it, more than with Iga. Maybe not. Maybe she will hit as many winners.
Ostapenko comes into the match after a memorable win over Iga Swiatek on Sunday.
“Of course it will be a very difficult match,” she said. “Coco is a great young player. I played it in Australia. It was a great game. I will try to focus on myself and enjoy it. It’s great to be in the quarterfinals, especially here in New York.
The Latvian has had a Roland-Garros title under her belt since 2017 and says she is full of confidence.
“I was training very hard before the American swing, and also before here,” she added. “I felt like I was playing a lot of tournaments well, but some moments here and there weren’t working out. I kept trying and working.
“I feel like now my game is coming back together and I’m playing more freely, in a good way, and not thinking too much. »
