Now it’s The Coco Show on Tuesday night at the U.S. Open.
Coco Gauff said she gets pumped before frenzied crowds and there will be plenty of electricity inside Arthur Ashe Stadium when the 18-year-old plays her first-ever Open quarterfinal against the red-hot Caroline Garcia. “When you play these players that are hot, I think it’s more of a mental challenge,’’ Gauff said. “You just got to accept she’s going to hit some great shots. She’s playing the best tennis she has in a long time.
“I’m super excited actually to play Coco in U.S., in New York, quarterfinal of slam,’’ Garcia said. “She’s doing really good this year, very consistent, still very young. But, yeah, it’s a great match to play. She’s aggressive but maybe from a little bit farther than I am. Big serve, huge serve, very powerful. Moving great. Very athletic.’’ ESPN’s Pam Shriver think Garcia has a chance but will have to block out the “Let’s Go, Coco’’ noise.
The Serena Williams slayer is still alive at the U.S. Open and will play her quarterfinal match Tuesday on the day card. Unseeded Ajla Tomljanovic, who ended Williams’ career Friday, will face fifth seed Ons Jabeur. After beating Williams in a three-set thriller in the third round, the 5-foot-11 Tomljanovic remained a rock in the fourth round with a 7-6, 6-1 win over Ludmilla Samsonova on Sunday night.
