US Open 2026 quarter-finals: Andreeva v Gauff, Rybakina beats Zheng to become world No 1 – live

Second set: Andreeva 6-2, 6-6 Gauff* (*denotes next server) So Andreeva, who would be serving for the match if she’d put away that short ball, is now serving to stay in the set. At 15-all, the net gods rule in Gauff’s favour as the ball clips and tape and flies over … Andreeva is still able to get the ball back … but Gauff assumes control in the point and Andreeva is forced into making the error. 15-30. Andreeva recovers to 40-30 … and secures the game when Gauff’s forehand – which can sometimes be a bit brittle – malfunctions.
