lista 3 de 4: Arsenal, com desempenho falho, bate Napoli com golaço de Odegaard na Liga dos Campeões.

The 2023 champion had none of her usual firepower at first and was ⁠on the ropes in the tiebreak before she flipped the script and closed out the match with a forehand strike, dropping her racket to the court in joy and relief.

She faces second seed ⁠Elena Rybakina in the semi-finals.

Andreeva looked completely at home in New York City’s Arthur Ashe Stadium as she sprinted through the first four games, never allowing Gauff to set up a break-point chance in the opening set where the Russian had just five unforced errors to ‌14 from her opponent.

Gauff, que tirou uma pausa no vestiário entre os sets, se inspirou em seu compatriota Frances Tiafoe, que se recuperou de dois sets e de uma queda na noite de terça-feira para chegar às semifinais do lado masculino.

Gauff finalmente encontrou algum ímpeto no segundo set e estava servindo para o placar no nono jogo quando antigos problemas com seu serviço ressurgiram. Ela produziu três duplas falhas, permitindo que seu adversário quebrasse de volta.

Undeterred, Gauff recovered her poise and deployed a perfectly placed backhand to win a 39-shot ⁠rally, twice saving match point before forcing the third set with a forehand shot to the corner that Andreeva could not contain.

She kept up ⁠the pace from there, and Andreeva flung her racket at her ⁠bench in disgust after dropping her serve in the third game of the decider. Gauff broke her to love in the seventh game to put the contest completely out of reach.

She faces a formidable foe in Rybakina, who claimed the top ranking ‌with a win earlier in the day over Zheng Qinwen of China.

Gauff and the Kazakh second seed have one win apiece in career head-to-head, with Rybakina winning their most recent encounter in the semi-finals in Toronto ‌last ‌month.
