Coco Gauff’s impressive 6-3, 6-1 win against Poland’s Magdalena Frech in the third round of the 2025 US Open wasn’t just about moving into the second week; it marked a historic milestone. With this win, the 21-year-old has now made the second-most appearances in the round of 16 at a major for an American woman before turning 22 in the Open era. This marks her 16th achievement on this stage and really highlights her as one of tennis’s standout talents.
This record-breaking performance, achieved at the iconic Arthur Ashe Stadium, underscored her resilience amid a turbulent start to the tournament, where technical struggles and emotional vulnerability had threatened to derail her campaign. Even though the score was straight sets, the match showed how well Gauff can handle pressure.
