Gauff and Serena could meet each other at the US Open

As mentioned earlier, Gauff and Serena never met each other in a competitive match, which could all change at this year’s US Open. As per the draw, they could meet each other in the semis.

Notably, Gauff won her first two matches with ease, as she will play her third round match today at the US Open against her compatriot Madison Keys, who reached the final once at the US Open.

As for Serena, she won her first match comfortably, but faced a tough challenge in the second round, as she faced world No.2 Anett Kontaveit. After battling past Kontaveit, Serena will face the Aussie player Ajla Tomljanovic in the third round at the US Open. If Gauff and Serena both win their respective matches, they will eventually face in the semis. Although it looks really difficult right now, it’s certainly not impossible.
