Simona Halep continued to impress at the Madrid Open by overpowering American teenager Coco Gauff 6-4, 6-4 to make the quarterfinals on Monday.
A two-time Madrid Open champion, Halep upset No. 2-ranked Paula Badosa in the second round.
The 21st-ranked Halep converted three of her five break opportunities to close out the center-court match against 16th-ranked Gauff.
Halep will face eighth-seeded Ons Jabeur, who defeated Belinda Bencic 6-2, 3-6, 6-3 in a match interrupted by rain after the second set.
On the men’s side, Jannik Sinner saved three match points in beating Tommy Paul 6-7 (4), 7-6 (4), 6-3. The American squandered two match points on serve at 5-3 in the second set, and another while trying to break at 6-5.
“It was a very difficult situation,” Sinner said after the three-hour match on center court. “I’m happy to be in the second round.”
The 12th-ranked Sinner has yet to reach a semifinal in 2022, but reached the quarterfinals at the Australian Open, Miami and Monte Carlo.
The Italian next has Alex de Minaur, who beat Pedro Martinez 7-6 (2), 1-6, 6-3.
Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, coming off his maiden Masters final in Monte Carlo, got past Lloyd Harris after breaking late in both sets of a 7-5, 6-3 victory.
