Coco Gauff and Emma Navarro are set for an All-American showdown at Arthur Ashe Stadium on Sunday, with the winner advancing to the quarterfinal round of the 2024 US Open Championships. Gauff, the defending US Open champion, will face another formidable opponent roughly 48 hours after surviving an upset bid from Elena Svitolina 3-6 6-3 6-3. After demolishing Varvara Gracheva 6-2 6-0 and Tatjana Maria 6-4 6-0, Gauff engaged in an action-packed three-set battle with Svitolina, who once reached the semis of the US Open in 2019. The American won 79 percent of her first serves and broke the Ukrainian four times, with 36 of the 91 points coming from return points. Navarro also had to go through a three-set match with another Ukrainian in the third round, nipping Marta Kostyuk 6-4 4-6 6-3. The 23-year-old Navarro is trying to secure her second Grand Slam quarterfinal appearance after reaching the last eight of the Wimbledon Open in June.
