Coco Gauff Crashes Out Of Miami Open With Loss To Magda Linette.
American star Coco Gauff bowed out of the Miami Open in the round of 16 on Monday, as she fell to a 6-4, 6-4 defeat to the unseeded Magda Linette of Poland.
Gauff, the third seed in Miami, was knocked out of Indian Wells at the same stage two weeks ago, losing to Belinda Bencic in that encounter.
Since reaching the quarterfinals of this year’s Australian Open, Gauff has gone 4-4 without getting out of the fourth round of three consecutive WTA 1000 events.
“It wasn’t great today and it hasn’t been for the last two weeks so I’m just trying to figure that out,’’ said Gauff, the former U.S. Open champion.
“Everything, serve, return, forehand, backhand, everything honestly. It’s just one of those days I felt off on everything on the court.”
Committing 12 double faults, Gauff struggled with her serve, and Linette broke the American four times.
Gauff, who turned 21 a few weeks ago, seemed to take control of the second set with a break to draw even at 3-3 and then went up 4-3 on consecutive aces. But Linette ultimately dominated, clinching her first win over a top-three player since 2021.
Since 2009, the 33-year-old Linette is the second-oldest player to claim a first WTA 1000 win over a Top 5 opponent, after Hsieh Su-wei six years ago in Dubai.
Linette is also the third-oldest woman this century to reach the Miami Open quarterfinals for the first time, after Mirjana Lucic (2017) and Hsieh Su-Wei (2019).
