Gauff advances into Cincinnati fourth round with walkover

CINCINNATI, United States — Second seed Coco Gauff moved into the ATP and WTA Cincinnati Open fourth round on Tuesday (Wednesday Manila time) when opponent Dayana Yastremska withdrew before their scheduled match.

The 21-year-old American, the reigning French Open champion who won the 2023 Cincinnati title and followed up with a US Open crown, will next face either former Roland Garros champion Jelena Ostapenko of Latvia or Italian Lucia Bronzetti.

Ukraine's Yastremska was unable to play due to illness, the WTA said.
