Coco Gauff opened her US Open campaign with a 6-3, 6-4 victory over Zeynep Sonmez on Tuesday.

Gauff noted she felt she was more intimidated by her mother than her father, though she acknowledged the father's past as a collegiate athlete. Beyond the family rankings, Gauff addressed her performance against Sonmez, noting the importance of staying calm while her opponent increased her level of play at the net. Gauff is scheduled to face the winner of the delayed first-round match between Paula Badosa and Daria Kasatkina in the next stage of the tournament.
