'Insane' Coco Gauff Powers Into Auckland Semi-Finals
Coco Gauff continued the ruthless defence of her Auckland Classic title on Friday with a 6-1, 6-1 trouncing of Varvara Gracheva to set up a semi-final against fellow American Emma Navarro. With rain clouds gathering, Gauff was in the mood for a swift victory over her French opponent and achieved it in 52 minutes in another ominous display ahead of the Australian Open. The world number three and US Open champion clinched the title in Auckland last year without dropping a set and is on track to repeat that feat.
