Montreal ¨C World No. 2 Coco Gauff battled through another tough three-setter on Thursday, rallying from a set and a break down to beat Veronika Kudermetova and reach the fourth round of the WTA Canadian Open.
The top-seeded American, who won her second Grand Slam title at this year¡¯s French Open, again struggled with her serve but held her nerve for a 4-6, 7-5, 6-2 victory over former world No. 9 Kudermetova.
¡°The goal of the game is to survive and advance,¡± Gauff said. ¡°It¡¯s not my best, but it was good enough for today and that¡¯s all I can ask for.¡±
