Sinner lights up NY with dazzling display
-
Naomi Osaka delivered a statement win at the US Open by thrashing home favourite Coco Gauff in the last 16 on Monday as Jannik Sinner and Iga Swiatek charged into the quarterfinals.
The Japanese star powered past third seed Gauff 6-3, 6-2 in a highly-anticipated but lopsided fourth-round showdown of former US Open champions on the Labor Day holiday in New York.
Osaka broke in the very first game in front of an expectant Arthur Ashe Stadium crowd and was untouchable on serve in a ruthless display against a misfiring Gauff, who hit 33 unforced errors.
“This is my favourite court in the world and it means so much to me to be back today,’ said Osaka, who looks primed for a tilt at a fifth Grand Slam.
“This is kind of uncharted territory at this point of my career,’ added Osaka. “1m just enjoying it. I'm having fun”
The 27-year-old, a two-time US Open champion, is enjoying her deepest run at a major since winning her second Australian Open title in 2021.
