American Coco Gauff, the top seed at the tournament, beat Chinese qualifier Yafan Wang 6-4, 6-4 to move into the last 16 of the WTA National Bank Open at the Aviva Centre on Thursday.
“I think I made some more errors than I’m used to, but overall, I think I was building the points the correct way,” Gauff said as quoted by the WTA Tour. “I think I just have to do better making those next two balls. But overall, I’m happy with I played.”
Gauff, ranked No 2, will play Russian Diana Shnaider, the No 14 seed, next.
In the previous round, Wang, ranked No 72, won against American Sofia Kenin (7-5, 7-6 (3)).
