19 double faults! US Open defending champion out
Defending champion Coco Gauff has been knocked out of the US Open in the round of 16. The American, ranked number three, lost 3:6, 6:4 and 3:6 to her compatriot Emma Navarro on Sunday (local time).
The 20-year-old Gauff was far from her top form, making 19 double faults alone. Last year, she had won her first Grand Slam title in the New York final against Aryna Sabalenka from Belarus.
Navarro had already beaten Gauff in the round of 16 at Wimbledon; before this year, the current number 13 at the US Open had never made it past the first round.
Navorro now against Badosa
The 23-year-old will now face Paula Badosa (No. 26) in the round of the best eight. The Spaniard beat the unseeded Chinese player Wang Yafan 6:1 and 6:2 in her round of 16 match.
