Gauff defeats Montgomery in rain-delayed match in San Diego
Sixth-seeded Coco Gauff turned back an inspired effort from 294th-ranked Robin Montgomery, 6-3, 6-3 on Wednesday in the resumption of a match that was postponed due to rain a night earlier in the San Diego Open WTA 500. Gauff, who earlier this year reached her first major singles final in the French Open, said she did her best to block out the rain delay that stretched the match out over two days and instead focus on the match against a fellow 18-year-old American. Gauff said the match had more significance following Serena Williams’ retirement and the possibility that her sister, Venus, will retire as well.
