Dania Sofea Zaidi-Low Zi Yu pull off stunning surprise by beating China top-seeded pair to reach World Junior Championship final The 20-year-old Gauff, who has made some grip changes with new coach Matt Daly, committed 21 double faults as top seed Sabalenka, who struggled against the world number four’s power earlier in the match, swung the momentum in her favour.
Three-times Grand Slam winner Sabalenka found it hard to control her returns when Gauff got the first serve right, repeatedly overshooting the lines or finding the net. Gauff’s double faults coupled with slower, nervous second serves allowed Sabalenka to pressure her with power shots as the Belarusian won four games in a row to win the second set 6-4.
