American tennis player Coco Gauff cruised to a 6-0, 6-3 Round 3 win over Martina Trevisan at the Guadalajara Open Akron on Thursday to reach her third quarterfinal of a WTA 1000 event this year, here.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The No 5 seed Gauff won the first nine games against Trevisan in a rematch of their semifinal at Roland Garros, which was also won by Gauff in straight sets. She staked an early lead thanks to a crucial hold of serve in the first set at 2-0. Trevisan led 0-40, and had four break points in total, before Gauff held.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The American saved the first seven break points she faced, and though she was broken on the eighth, she denied Trevisan any sustained momentum. Gauff broke again, for a fifth time in the match, and served out victory in 61 minutes after saving another break point.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"I'm definitely happy with how I played today. Martina's a great player, she's had a good season, so she's never easy to face. The serve, and my forehand, set up a lot of short balls for me today," Gauff said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Gauff is 0-2 this year in quarterfinals at WTA 1000 events, having lost to Iga Swiatek in Doha and Simona Halep in Montreal.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
