World No. 4 Coco Gauff secured her place in the US Open 2026 quarterfinals, defeating 14th seed and compatriot Iva Jovic in the round of 16. The match was not an easy one for the American: at the start of the first set, Gauff lost her serve and allowed Jovic to take the lead. However, Coco then won six consecutive games and crushed her opponent 6-1, while in the second set, where Jovic held on until the score was 4-4, she broke serve and closed out the game. The course of the match confirms that the second set was indeed the turning point, in which Gauff managed to squeeze her opponent out on her own serve. ### Record Winning Streak The victory over Jovic marked the 22-year-old Gauff's tenth consecutive win and her ninth straight in straight sets, which is the best win streak of her career. According to the source, the American last dropped a set at the start of her victorious tournament in Cincinnati, after which a string of wins without dropping a game followed. It was this streak that carried her into the New York quarterfinals at the peak of her form and confidence. ### A Historic Milestone for American Tennis Reaching the US Open quarterfinals was a first for Gauff since 2023, when she won her debut Grand Slam title. Moreover, Coco became the youngest American since 2003 — after 21-year-old Serena Williams — to reach at least the quarterfinals of three majors within a single season. This fact underscores the consistency of her performances on all surfaces this year and strengthens her status as one of the main contenders for the trophy. ### Gauff's Reaction and Next Opponent "The first set was of a very high level for me, and in the second Iva stepped it up. I'm happy with how I was able to close out the final game. I'm already used to playing at this stage, so the moment doesn't feel as pressuring," Gauff shared after the match. In the quarterfinals, her opponent will be fifth seed Mirra Andreeva, against whom the American leads comfortably in head-to-head meetings with a score of 5-0. It was previously reported that Marta Kostyuk, saving five match points amid tears and pain, was eliminated from the US Open. ## 🔍 Fact-Check Verification - [For the First Time in 3 Years: Gauff Reaches the US Open Quarterfinals](https://sport.rbc.ua/ukr/tennis/vpershe-3-roki-goff-viyshla-chvertfinal-us-1788854746.html) - Подтверждает результат матча с Йович, рекордную серию побед и выход в 1/4 финала впервые с 2023 года. - [Kostyuk Loses in the Quarterfinals of the Cincinnati Tournament](https://korrespondent.net/sport/tenis/4905215-kostuik-proyhrala-v-chetvertfynale-turnyra-v-tsyntsynnaty) - Использован как контекст по выступлениям Костюк; не противоречит основной теме. - [US Open 2026.
