The American sensation defeated Belinda Bencic in the third round of the tournament and advanced to the quarter-finals of the first WTA 1000 clay court of the year. She defeated Bencic with a scoreline of 6-4, 6-2 to storm into the last eight rounds of the game.

However, Gauff is set to have a daunting task in her next round. The 21-year-old tennis star is now set to face formidable WTA player Mirra Andreeva in the quarter-finals, with two top players aiming to seek the semi-final berth. Notably, the 17-year-old Russian won the Dubai tournament and the Indian Wells singles tournament before winning the Miami Open 2025 doubles. She can pose a big threat to Gauff in the next game.

After her stellar victory in the pre-quarterfinals, Coco Gauff was seen staying back for her post-win remarks.

Her reaction steals the show after she becomes inaudible.

"...I definitely had avocado toast and what else did I – Oh, fruits! So that was pretty much it. It was an early start," she said, giggling.

"I didn’t sleep that well last night, so maybe I just need to like not get a lot of sleep…" (inaudible)
