Top-seeded player hasn’t dropped a set at the tournamentAzarenka needs three sets to reach final four at Brisbane
The US Open champion Coco Gauff moved into the semi-finals of the Auckland Tennis Classic on Friday with a 6-1, 6-1 win over Varvara Gracheva of France on a rainy quarter-finals day.
The top-seeded player and defending champion needed only 24 minutes to win the first set and took the match in just eight minutes short of an hour. Gauff hasn’t dropped a set at the tournament and didn’t drop a set in winning the tournament last year. Rain delayed the start of the match and was threatening at the end. But Gauff rushed to victory with dark clouds gathering, sending down five aces.
