Coco Gauff carried Naomi Osaka’s bags off court after the Japanese star retired due to a lower back injury sustained during their match at the China Open on Tuesday.
In the first meeting between the two Grand Slam champions in more than two years, Osaka found herself 6-3 and a break up at 4-3 on Gauff before fading fast as she went on to lose three straight games, including two service games, to drop the second set and then retire with an injury.
Gauff, a former US Open champion, will play No 115-ranked Yuliia Starodubtseva in the quarter-finals after the Ukrainian caused an upset by beating Anna Kalinskaya 7-5 6-0.
