Naomi Osaka, the world’s No. 1 player, put an end to the latest Grand Slam run by the 15-year-old American Coco Gauff, winning, 6-3, 6-0, in the third round of the United States Open on Saturday.
Osaka’s victory in Arthur Ashe Stadium was no surprise and certainly no discredit to Gauff, who has captured plenty of imaginations and attention during her remarkable summer of tennis.
Though Gauff has overcome several of her elders, she is 0-2 against top-10 opposition, having lost to Simona Halep in the fourth round of Wimbledon as well as to Osaka on Saturday.
