Coco Gauff needed every ounce of her competitive resolve to get past Camila Osorio at the China Open, eventually prevailing 7-6(4), 4-6, 6-2 in a contest far trickier than many anticipated.
Osorio was relentless on return, breaking Gauff's serve five times and winning nearly as many total points as the American. It was hardly the serene opener Gauff might have hoped for on her return to action following a semifinal run at the US Open.
The result extends one of the more remarkable geographical streaks in women's tennis. Gauff now has 23 victories at WTA events in China - an 88.4% win rate that stands as the best of any player this century among those with at least ten matches on Chinese soil, as ESPN reports.
She claimed the Wuhan title in 2025 and lifted the Beijing trophy two years ago. This tournament has been particularly kind to her - she has reached at least the semifinals on every previous visit.
Gauff will face either Cristina Bucsa or Chinese junior number one Sun Xinran in the third round. Her 2026 season at WTA 1000 level has been impressively consistent, with seven wins from eight opening-round matches.
Questions linger, though. If Osorio could push her this hard, tougher opponents deeper in the draw will fancy their chances. Gauff's grit got her through on Friday - but she will need sharper serving to go all the way in Beijing.
