Agency :
American teenager Coco Gauff ended Caroline Wozniacki’s fairytale return to the US Open on Sunday, booking her place in the quarter-finals with a three-set victory.

Sixth seed Gauff, regarded by many as one of the favourites for the title after two tournament wins in August, advanced to the last eight with a 6-3, 3-6, 6-1 victory on the Arthur Ashe Stadium court.

The 19-year-old will face either defending champion Iga Swiatek or Latvia’s Jelena Ostapenko in Tuesday’s quarter-finals.

“I knew going in I had to play aggressive,” Gauff said after her victory. “I’m happy that I was able to get back and focus.
