damCincinnati just got another dose of Coco magic. Second seed Coco Gauff is through to the fourth round of the WTA and ATP Cincinnati Open, and she did it in the kind of style that’s become her trademark—fearless aggression, electrifying speed, and an unwavering belief in her game. At just 20 years old, Gauff is already one of the faces of women’s tennis, and her Cincinnati campaign is proving exactly why.
Facing a tricky opponent who tested her movement and patience, Gauff showed maturity beyond her years. She mixed her explosive groundstrokes with tactical variety, pulling her opponent wide with sharp angles before blasting winners down the line. The home crowd, already buzzing with every point, fed off her energy, roaring louder with each fist pump and “Come on!” she let out.
This win puts her into the fourth round, keeping alive her chase for a deep run in one of the most prestigious lead-up tournaments to the US Open. With every match, Gauff seems to sharpen her game, fine-tuning her serve and adding even more consistency to her baseline play.
But it’s not just the tennis that’s winning hearts—it’s the attitude. Whether saving break points with nerveless winners or calmly resetting after a missed chance, Gauff has the composure of a veteran. That mental toughness could prove vital as the competition intensifies.
Now, with the business end of the tournament in sight, Gauff will likely face even tougher challenges, including potential showdowns against top-ranked rivals. For the fans in Cincinnati, that just means more thrilling tennis. For Coco, it’s another chance to prove she’s not just a future star—she’s a present-day powerhouse.
If this level holds, the Cincinnati Open might just become another chapter in Gauff’s growing highlight reel—and a loud warning shot to the rest of the tour ahead of the year’s final Slam.
