Coco Gauff, the third-seeded American defending her maiden Grand Slam title, fought back from a set down to defeat Elina Svitolina in the third round of the US Open. Despite a shaky start, Gauff turned the tide, winning the last two sets convincingly. The victory ends a five-match losing streak for Gauff against top-50 opponents, suggesting she might be regaining her form after a recent slump. Gauff will face the winner of the match between Emma Navarro and Marta Kostyuk for a spot in the quarterfinals.
