Double bagel at Madrid Open! Gauff moves into third round, 6-0, 6-0 v Rus

It was a spectacular display from American Coco Gauff, the No 3 seed, who advanced to the third round of the Madrid Open by winning against Dutchwoman Arantxa Rus 6-0, 6-0 at the Caja Magica on Thursday.

Gauff, ranked No 3, will face Ukrainian Dayana Yastremska, the No 31 seed, next.

Gauff currently has one clay court title over the course of her career, which she won in Parma in 2021. However, she did reach the doubles final in Madrid last year along with Jessica Pegula.

In the previous round of the Madrid tournament, Rus, ranked No 47, defeated wildcard Brenda Fruhvirtova (7-5, 6-3).
