Coco Gauff beated Belinda Bencic 5-7, 6-2, 6-1 in the fourth round of the Australian Open and advanced to the quarterfinals. Gauff took two hours and a half to hold off Bencic in a thrilling and emotional match.

“Belinda is obviously a great player, no matter what form she’s in. I just was trying to be more aggressive in the second and third. Kind of play bigger because she was playing so big. Obviously when I lost that [first] set, I knew I was playing a bit too passive at moments. It’s tough when you’re playing someone who is standing on top of the baseline and ripping. I almost just kind of had to play like her, honestly, just to get out of that. I think I just started going for my shots more and being okay with maybe making more unforced errors, and hopefully seeing the reward later on,” said Coco Gauff in a post-match interview.

Coco Gauff will face Paula Badosa for a place in the semifinals.
