Coco Gauff won just six points against Naomi Osaka’s serve, and just one against an Osaka first serve. That’s astonishing.

An emotional Naomi Osaka admits she is finding it hard not to cry – but says she had “fun out there” in defeating Coco Gauff to reach the US Open quarter-finals.

“I want to say thank you to my team, they’ve been through a lot and it hasn’t been easy.

“It’s special to play Coco again. To be such an amazing role model at her age is a special gift to have.”
