Gauff fought back from a set down to advance…
Happy’ Coco Gauff achieves major 2025 milestone after defeating Belinda Bencic in China
Coco Gauff advanced to the China Open quarter-finals on Tuesday after defeating Belinda Bencic in a tight three-set contest.
Gauff is a big fan of the Chinese crowds, and she gave them a match to remember on Tuesday, rallying from a set down to defeat Bencic 4-6, 7-6, 6-2.
This was an intense affair, one that boiled over midway through the second set: Bencic claimed Gauff’s team were cheering while the Swiss player was preparing to serve.
Gauff refused to let the drama knock her off course as she fought back from a set down for the second match in a row, following her marathon contest against Leylah Fernandez.
Gauff appears to have steadied the ship after struggling for form during the latter half of 2025, and this form has helped her achieve something significant.
The American has now earned 5,399 WTA points this year, while Swiatek and Sabalenka have earned 8,153 and 9,610 points, respectively.
After the match, Gauff spoke to Sky Sports about her victory and her qualification for the Finals, a feat she has achieved for the fourth consecutive year.
“It was a tough match,” Gauff said.
“I had chances in the first to close it out, but overall, I’m happy with how I fought. She was being really aggressive, and I tried my best.
Happy to qualify once again. I think it’s my third or fourth year in a row, so happy to be back in Riyadh and happy to do it here.”
Amanda Anisimova, another American star, could join Gauff in Riyadh if she continues to advance at the China Open.
The 24-year-old sits on 5,028 points, less than 300 behind Gauff.

Lys has performed superbly throughout the tournament, defeating Ruien Zhang, Iva Jovic and Elena Rybakina.
Meanwhile, Kessler has defeated Han Shi, Elise Mertens and Barbora Krejcikova.
Kessler won the only match she and Gauff have contested, at the 2025 Dubai Championships. Kessler won the match 6-4, 7-5.
Gauff and Kessler recently played doubles together, winning the Canadian Open title while doing so.

“BREAKING NEWS: NFL icon Patrick Mahomes just delivered a powerful message that left some of the world’s richest and most influential people stunned — and then he backed up his words with action. READ MORE: At a lavish black-tie gala in Manhattan, surrounded by billionaires, crystal chandeliers, and egos large enough to fill a stadium, Mahomes took the stage to accept a Global Impact Award — but instead of giving the polite, scripted speech everyone expected, the Chiefs quarterback spoke from the heart. He didn’t praise sponsors. He didn’t talk about fame. He didn’t thank “the usual names.” Instead, he looked out at a room filled with the world’s wealthiest — including Mark Zuckerberg and several Wall Street titans — and said: “If you’re blessed, you have a duty to bless others. No one should build an empire while kids don’t have a place to sleep. If you hold more than you need, then someone out there is going without.” The entire room froze. Eyewitnesses say Zuckerberg and the tech billionaires sat stiff, not clapping, not smiling — just stunned silence as Patrick’s words rang through the hall. Of course they didn’t clap. The truth rarely comforts those who benefit from the way things are. Because Mahomes wasn’t talking about envy — he was talking about responsibility, character, and humanity. And he didn’t stop at words. That same night, Patrick Mahomes announced a $10 million donation through his “15 and the Mahomies Foundation” to build youth centers, sports facilities, medical clinics, and safe housing in struggling communities across Kansas City, Tyler (Texas), and underserved neighborhoods throughout the Midwest and South. He didn’t brag. He didn’t pose. He simply acted — proving that leadership isn’t something you say… it’s something you do. Mahomes’ message was clear, timeless, and deeply human: “Greatness isn’t measured by what you earn — it’s measured by what you give.” While billionaires chase luxury, status, and applause, Patrick Mahomes reminded the world that true greatness comes from lifting others, not just yourself. In a world obsessed with wealth and power, Patrick did what he always does — stepped up when it mattered most. Patrick Mahomes didn’t just speak tonight. He made the world stop and listen.”
“🔥Just 15 minutes ago: NFL icon Travis Kelce has finally broken his silence with a fiery message defending his quarterback, Patrick Mahomes: “What he’s dealing with is a disgrace to the game — a complete betrayal of what football is supposed to represent. How can people be so harsh on a guy who gives everything he has, every single snap? Mahomes is carrying this team with heart, toughness and leadership. To me, he’s one of the greatest players to ever wear a Chiefs uniform.” 👉Read the full story now:
