After stunning the world at Wimbledon, Cori"Coco" Gauff has reached her third career main draw at the weekend by dominating qualifying at the Citi Open in Washington.
The 15-year-old American Gauff needed just 64 minutes to win her final qualifier, cruising past Japanese opponent Hiroko Kuwata 6-1 6-2 to confirm her place in one of the main warm-up tournaments for the US Open. Previous to this success, Gauff had only qualified for the Wimbledon and Miami Open main draws. "I was glad that I was able to get a feel of how it is, the site, playing those two qualifying matches," Gauff said after her final qualifying match.
