However, Lys, a German tennis player seeking her first WTA title, was only able to convert three of them, losing her own serve on five occasions against the French Open champion.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cShe is a tough opponent. She made incredible shots on the run,\u201d commented Gauff, who is seeking her eleventh professional title. \u201cI was giving my best to stay aggressive. Staying confident in my game and not being too passive.\u201d<\/p><cite>Coco Gauff<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nIn the semifinals, Gauff will face Amanda Anisimova, the third seed and runner-up at Wimbledon and the US Open. Anisimova came back from a set down to defeat Jasmine Paolini with a score of 6-7 (4), 6-3, 6-4, in a match that lasted 2 hours and 49 minutes.\n\nAnisimova&#8217;s victory secures her participation in the WTA Finals in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, next month, marking her debut in the tournament.\n\nIn the decisive set, Anisimova found herself in trouble with a score of 4-3 and 40-15 against her serve, but managed to hold. Finally, she closed out the match against Paolini, who recently contributed to Italy retaining the Billie Jean King Cup.\n\nThis was only the second match between both players, four years after Anisimova defeated Paolini in straight sets on clay in Palermo, Italy.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coco Gauff Advances to China Open Semifinals for Third Consecutive Year The current champion, Coco Gauff, has reached the semifinals of the China Open for the third consecutive time, after defeating Eva Lys with scores of 6-3, 6-4 this Thursday.
