In a thrilling showdown at the WTA Madrid Open, Coco Gauff powered past Belinda Bencic in straight sets, 6-4, 6-2, to secure her spot in the quarterfinals. Fans were treated to a high-energy match where Gauff’s precise forehand winner set the tone early, giving her the edge in a pulsating encounter.
This was their third clash this season, and Gauff’s persistence and skill shone through even as Bencic fought to level the game. Moments of brilliant tennis were interwoven with the excitement of a challenging battle on the court.
Adding an unexpected twist to the day, a widespread power outage swept across Spain minutes after the match. The dramatic blackout cut short Gauff’s post-match interview, but not before she humorously mentioned, "Yeah, definitely. I had avocado toast and what else did I have? Oh fruit!" 🥑🍓 Her lighthearted remark captured the spirit of the moment despite the interruption.
Now, with her eyes set on the next challenge, Gauff will face Russian teenager Mirra Andreeva in the upcoming quarterfinals, continuing her impressive run at the tournament.
