Auckland Classic: Coco Gauff Crushes Rebeka Masarova to Claim Title

News 18  

Top seed Coco Gauff mixed patience with her trademark power to win the final of the rain-hit Auckland Classic against Spain’s Rebeka Masarova on Sunday, ahead of the Australian Open. American teenager Gauff negotiated two lengthy stoppages before seeing off Spanish qualifier Masarova 6-1, 6-1 to complete a dominant week in which she was barely challenged. The world number seven didn’t drop a set at the tournament and effortlessly cast aside 130th-ranked Masarova to clinch her third WTA title and her first for nearly two years. Displaying the sort of form that took her to the final of the French Open seven months ago, Gauff’s methodical groundstrokes look set to be a potent weapon at the year’s first Grand Slam starting in Melbourne in just over a week.
