MusaCoco Gauff gave her fans something to cheer about once again at the Canadian Open in Montreal, showing exactly why she’s the top seed. The 20-year-old American tennis star pulled off a thrilling comeback win against Veronika Kudermetova, turning what looked like a shaky start into a strong and confident victory.
At the beginning of the match, it wasn’t all smooth sailing for Gauff. Kudermetova came out swinging, putting pressure on Coco and taking the first set. It looked like the Russian player was going to cause a major upset. But if there’s one thing we’ve learned about Coco over the years, it’s that she never gives up without a fight—and this match was no different.
In the second set, Gauff found her rhythm. Her energy picked up, her shots became more accurate, and her serve started to click. She began pushing Kudermetova around the court with deep forehands and sharp angles. The crowd in Montreal could feel the momentum shifting, and they got louder with every point Coco won. That support seemed to fuel her, and by the time the second set was done, the match had taken a completely different tone.
By the third set, it was all Gauff. Her confidence had returned, and she started playing like the champion everyone knows her to be. Kudermetova tried to stay in it, but Coco’s movement, power, and mental toughness proved too much to handle. In the end, Gauff sealed the comeback win and moved on to the next round.
This victory wasn’t just about skill—it was about heart. Coco showed once again that she’s not just talented, but also determined and resilient. Matches like this remind fans why they love her: she plays with passion, respect, and a smile that lights up the court.
With this kind of performance, Gauff is showing she’s ready to go deep in the tournament. And if she keeps this up, we could be looking at another title added to her growing list. One thing is certain—Coco Gauff is just getting started, and tennis fans everywhere are excited to see what she does next in Montreal.
