Gauff and Sabalenka Impress to Reach Cincinnati Open Last 16 Coco Gauff and Aryna Sabalenka have made a strong statement at the Cincinnati Open, raising questions about their potential to contend for this year's US Open title.
Gauff dominated Ann Li in straight sets, securing her fourth consecutive victory over her compatriot. Meanwhile, Sabalenka cruised past Wang Xinyu with ease, advancing to the last 16.
Gauff's success against Li is not a new phenomenon; she has consistently outplayed her opponent in their head to head matches. However, this latest win assumes greater significance given the US Open's proximity.
