Coco Gauff defeats Maria Sakkari in Washington for her fourth title. Dan Evans wins the men’s final

Associated Press  

WASHINGTON — Away from a tennis court, Coco Gauff is still, in some ways, a typical teen, rolling her eyes at receiving FaceTime calls from a younger sibling — “I’m at press right now, Bro” — and her father — “Oh, my God” — while two versions of the DC Open trophy she earned Sunday sat on the table in front of her. “She’s already near the top, but there is a lot of room to get better,” said Gauff’s new coach, Pere Riba, who was joined on her team by consultant Brad Gilbert in Washington. “The caliber of players I have beat this week was probably the strongest out of all of the tournaments I’ve played,” said Gauff, who hit seven aces Sunday while improving to 4-1 in singles finals. “It’s pretty disappointing.” Sakkari broke to open the second set when Gauff dumped a drop shot into the net.
