Flushing Meadows is at the quarter finals stage. Join Daniel Harris for all the action
If she manages similar today, she’ll be a problem, and one thing we know for sure: she will not be scared or die wondering.I guess she’s already got Coco, but I’m trying to work out whether the rules governing these things demand Gauffy, Gauffsy or Gauffs.have met twice before, winning one apiece. Gauff won the final at Linz in 2019 – her first singles title, aged 15 – ! – but Ostapenko saw her away in this year’s Australian Open.
We start today with a confrontation for which the technical term is “an absolute stonker”. Coco Gauff has improved hugely this past year or so and given she was pretty handy already, that makes her a very serious proposition.
However, on the other side of the net is Jelena Ostapenko – conqueror of the aforementioned and already a major champion, fortifying her with a confidence Gauff cannot yet deploy. In the history of tennis, there’ve been few players – if any - with a riskier, more aggressive style; not so good when it doesn’t work, but when it does it’s close to unbeatable.
Then, following them onto court, we’ve got Taylor Fritz and Novak Djokovic – on the face of things, a likely blowout. Djokovic is, by almost every measure, the greatest male tenniser ever, has won all seven of his meetings with today’s opponent, and much as he intimates to the contrary, he’ll be raging to have lost the Wimbledon final.
Fritz, though, is making strides, his best or joint-best Grand Slam performances all coming within the last two years. He has a big serve, gigantic groundstrokes and plenty of bottle, so if he can find the best version of himself, you never know. Let’s go, dudes!
