Qatar Open 2025: Gauff crashes out after straight-sets loss to Kostyuk

The Hindu  

Coco Gauff suffered a surprise early exit from the Qatar Open on Tuesday with a straight-sets defeat by Ukraine’s Marta Kostyuk, while Elena Rybakina eased into the last 16. Former US Open champion Gauff blew a healthy advantage in the second set as Kostyuk sealed a 6-2, 7-5 victory and a third-round meeting with the winner of an all-Polish tie between Magda Linette and Magdalena Frech. Gauff, playing for the first time since January 21’s quarterfinal loss to Paula Badosa at the Australian Open, served seven double-faults in an erratic display. The fifth seed cruised to a 6-2, 6-4 win despite a late wobble to set up a third-round tie against either Russian teenager Mirra Andreeva or Slovakia’s Rebecca Sramkova.
