Coco Gauff produced an incredible comeback on Monday, losing a first-set tie-break before saving a match point to beat world No 17 Iva Jovic, 5-7 7-5 6-2.
It is the second time in as many days that the world No 4 has come from behind to win, after going two breaks down against Solana Sierra in their round of 16 clash.
“I think I’m proud. Iva played really good tennis, we had wind, aeroplanes and phones ringing. Everything is going on,” Gauff reflected.
“I’m really happy. Thanks to my team for helping me; that pep-talk really helped me.”
