Naomi Osaka and Coco Gauff will face off in the third round of the US Open at Arthur Ashe Stadium on Saturday night.
The 15-year-old Gauff is the youngest American woman to reach this level of the tournament since Jennifer Capriati in 1991. In the second round, Gauff was nearly derailed by Timea Babos after sprinting to an easy 6–2 first set victory. The teenager dropped the second 6–4, but held on in the third set for a 6–2, 4–6, 6–4 win.
Gauff looks to upset world No. 1 Osaka, who is seeking her second-straight US Open title and third career Grand Slam.
