Coco Gauff will continue her climb up the WTA Rankings as she notched up her eighth consecutive win with victory in the third round of the Wuhan Open.
Days after winning the eighth title of her career by lifting the China Open in Beijing, Gauff extended her winning run with a 6-4, 6-1 defeat of Marta Kostyuk in just 61 minutes in the round of 16 in Wuhan.
Aged 20, Gauff has become the youngest player to win 70 WTA 1000 wins with Caroline Wozniacki, Victoria Azarenka and Iga Swiatek the only other players to achieve the feat before their 23rd birthday.
The win over Kostyuk was also her 17th at WTA 1000 hard-court events and she is third behind Caroline Wozniacki (25 in 2010) and Bianca Andreescu (19 in 2021) for most victories before turning 21.
