The 20-year-old American went 5-2 up in the first set before Boulter, 28, found her rhythm, winning three games on the bounce to level the match.

 

 

After a hold from the 2023 US Open champion, Boulter saved two set points but she double-faulted before sending a forehand wide to hand Gauff the first set after 50 minutes.

 

 

Gauff broke Boulter’s serve before going 4-1 up in the second set. Boulter, the world number 34, then saved one match point but Gauff broke her serve again to clinch the set inside 35 minutes.
