Gauff recovers from deciding-set deficit to reach Miami semifinals

Coco Gauff defeated Belinda Bencic 6–3, 1–6, 6–3 to reach the Miami Open semifinals for the first time. The two-hour-fifteen-minute quarterfinal turned when Gauff recovered from a deciding-set break and won the last four games to secure victory.

The American won all eight of her opening-set net points and ninety-four percent of first-serve points. Bencic then reduced her errors to dominate the second set before breaking from 40–0 down for a 3–2 lead in the third.

Gauff answered immediately, levelling at 3–3 and using determined defensive play to earn another break. She recovered from 0–30 while serving for the match, closing with a drop shot and putaway. The result set a semifinal against Karolina Muchova.
