Four years ago, just before she burst onto the scene, Coco Gauff was asked to list her favourite players. “I love Coco, I think everyone knows I love Coco,” Stephens said in her on-court interview. It’s a pity that these two women met so early in the tournament and that Gauff has taken her leave precipitously. Gauff got her first peak at a break in the fourth game, which Stephens saved with a 108-mph serve out wide. In the next game, Gauff was broken to love and the match unravelled quickly after that.
