Coco Gauff and Caroline Garcia advanced to their first US Open quarterfinals on Sunday. Here's how two of the game's brightest talents stack up ahead of ...

The victories both came in 2021, in Indian Wells and Doha. And so, Garcia, who was through to the Round of 16 here for the first time has created another career precedent. "I never played on Ashe [against] a big American player, so definitely going to be the first time,” Garcia said. Against Gauff – a speedy, relentless defender – free points could tip the balance. It’s worth noting that she had lost all three previous matches versus Riske-Amritraj, including earlier this year in Nottingham, and turned that trend around on a dime. Entering the US Open, Garcia was second among Hologic WTA Tour players in service games won (.798) and break points saved (.672). It happened again when Zhang took a 5-3 lead in the second set – and Gauff came back to win the last four games. Along with Garcia and No.1 Iga Swiatek, she’s among the favorites to win the title here. Against Riske-Amritraj, she was standing inside the baseline for first serves and taking the ball as early as possible. The win over Zhang was a triumph of youth over experience. Zhang broke her first service game to take a 2-0 lead, and Gauff broke her right back with two resounding forehand winners.

Inside I was trying so hard not to smile. The 24,800 fans have transferred their cheers from Serena to Gauff.

Eighteen-year-old Coco Gauff has been described as the "total package" and was also praised for her maturity by Eurosport's experts.

She still has a bit of work to do, but I was really impressed in the way she was dealing on the important points, especially on serve. “All of the pressure is on her, and I was really impressed with the way she’s moving. “The difference is that Coco, she can do that, but she can also defend. “I mean, the backhand, it’s Novak-esque the way she defends on the backhand side. And of course, Zhang, she was really aggressive, trying a lot, but Coco could resist a lot.
