Coco Gauff is already the same as always in this US Open 2025. The American advanced to the fourth round by quickly defeating Magdalena Frech 6-3 6-1, setting up a champion's duel in the next round. She will face Naomi Osaka for a spot in the quarterfinals at Flushing Meadows. With a title in New York, she will try to surpass the Japanese player who already has two in her trophy case.

The hard-court swing of Coco Gauff before the US Open 2025 was not positive at all. She lost to the big surprise Victoria Mboko in the WTA Montreal third round after struggling in the first two rounds and fell in the quarterfinals of the WTA Cincinnati against Jasmine Paolini. She arrived at Flushing Meadows without many expectations, but already in the fourth round, she shows that she is back to her usual self on the court and is no longer committing as many double faults as in recent weeks. She attended a press conference after her third-round match.

- Very good level of play

"I try to repeat what has always worked for me on the court. Today, I could have been more aggressive at some moments, but it was a tough match because she doesn't give you rhythm, and you have to create your own opportunities. I am happy with how I pushed the match forward and also I served well, with a very good percentage of first serves. I hope to maintain this pace in the upcoming rounds. Today, I am content with my overall level of play, and I realize that I am heading in the right direction."

- Tears on the court in the previous round

"I don't want to experience a situation like that on the court again. I don't like showing my weaknesses in public, but after the match, I thought maybe it wasn't a moment of weakness, just externalizing the thoughts racing through my head to the point where I couldn't play. Now I see everything from a different perspective, received a lot of support from everyone, and realized that people were truly proud of me. Today, thanks to that, I felt more liberated on the court."

- Naomi Osaka, next opponent

"The first time I played against her here, I was too euphoric. I played with too much pressure, and it took a toll on me. I should have believed more in myself instead of focusing on the expectations I had for that match. The time I played against her in Australia was very different because I believed more in myself and didn't think so much about expectations or any other aspect. I hope to put on a great show and end up with the victory, honestly."
