(CNN) — In a matchup that could be an insight into the future of women’s tennis, Coco Gauff overcame Mirra Andreeva in straight sets to advance into the third round of the US Open.
In the battle of the teenagers, 19-year-old Gauff beat 16-year-old Andreeva 6-3 6-2 and never looked out of control as her extra experience and skill showed.
Gauff is among the favorites in a wide-open women’s field at Flushing Meadows and this convincing win would have laid down a warning to the rest of the field.
The American has been on brilliant form coming into the last grand slam of the season and won her third title of the year at the Western & Southern Open in her last outing before the US Open.
