SGHome favorite Coco Gauff advanced to the second round of the U.S. Open with a 6-3, 6-4 victory over Turkish player Zeynep Sonmez. The 22-year-old American, ranked world number 53, showcased strong performance under the lights at Arthur Ashe Stadium, maintaining control throughout the match. Sonmez, 24, displayed moments of brilliance, including a powerful backhand that impressed the crowd and Gauff, but ultimately could not overcome Gauff's consistency. Gauff, who has reached the fourth round or better at the U.S. Open in each of the last four years, will next face either Daria Kasatkina or Paula Badosa.
