Osaka routs Gauff to reach US Open quarter-finals

NEW YORK: Naomi Osaka blew past Coco Gauff to reach the quarter-finals of the US Open on Monday in a lopsided battle of former champions.

She was broken four times by Osaka, who looked far more assured throughout as she coasted into her first Grand Slam quarter-final in four years. “I’m a little sensitive and I don’t want to cry,” said Osaka, who also beat a 15-year-old Gauff at the US Open in their first meeting in 2019. “I had so much fun out here.
