With the win, Gauff advanced to her first appearance in a Grand Slam quarterfinal.
“I feel like this has been the most consistent tennis I have played at this level,” Gauff said. “Hopefully I can keep that going.”
Next up Gauff will face Barbora Krejcikova, who will also be playing her first quarterfinal at a major. Krejcikova beat 2018 French runner-up Sloane Stephens in a blowout, winning in straight sets 6-2, 6-0.
