27 h. ago US Open: Taylor Townsend in tears as Krejcikova saves eight match points to survive

American misses first grand slam singles quarter-finalTownsend had become huge crowd favorite in QueensTaylor Townsend couldn’t covert eight match points in a second set that ended with a 25-minute tiebreaker as she was eliminated from the US Open on Sunday with a 1-6, 7-6, 6-3 loss to Barbora Krejcikova.With the fans firmly behind a player who became a fan favorite during the tournament after her confrontation with Jelena Ostapenko, Townsend was repeatedly a point away from what would have been her first grand slam singles quarter-final. But Krejcikova, a two-time grand slam singles champion, erased a slew of match points in a tiebreaker she once trailed 6-3 before winning 15-13, broke Townsend’s serve twice in the third set and advanced to face another American, No 4 seed Jessica Pegula, on Tuesday.

2023 US Open champion beats Poland’s Frech 6-3, 6-1Gauff avoids early stumbles that marred first roundsSets up blockbuster clash with Osaka in fourth roundCoco Gauff arrived in New York with more questions than answers after reshuffling her coaching team on the eve of the year’s final grand slam. Her second major at Roland Garros in June had given way to a summer-long revolt of her serve, often marked by spates of double faults and premature exits, including a first-round departure from Wimbledon. She has framed the change as a long-term fix rather than a quick repair, saying she did not want to “waste time playing a way I don’t want to play”.After two tense night sessions to launch her US Open campaign, the 21-year-old American finally looked settled on Saturday morning, advancing to the second week of her home major for the fourth year running with a 6-3, 6-1 dismissal of Poland’s Magdalena Frech.
