Gauff triumphed convincingly with a score of 6-1, 6-2, demonstrating a focused and emotionless game strategy that kept her fully concentrated on her goal.
Throughout the match, Gauff displayed remarkable accuracy and poise, effortlessly placing her shots wherever she desired, which often left Boisson scrambling around the court. Although Boisson fought valiantly and extended rallies with her tenacity, she ultimately couldn’t keep pace with Gauff’s aggressive style of play.
