“I felt like I had to go bigger, because she was hitting so many forehand winners,” Gauff said. Serving to stay alive, Gauff saved a match point with a slicing, down-the-line backhand that peeled off the sideline for a winner. Hercog served in the next game and gained another match point. In the tiebreaker, Gauff fell behind again. Gauff took an early lead against Hercog in the third set but lost it.
