In the recently finished US Open round of 16, Gauff was defeated 0-2 by Naomi Osaka, missing the quarterfinals.

The detailed scores of the two sets were 3-6 and 2-6, with Osaka sweeping Gauff 2-0 in total.

Naomi Osaka is a Japanese player who rapidly emerged as a top Asian athlete after Li Na’s retirement, securing several Grand Slam championships. Yet, her ability has clearly declined in recent years, and there were news reports about a coaching team conflict involving Zheng Qinwen. Gauff, playing on home soil, was eliminated too early, which can be considered an upset.
