Coco Gauff loses to Jennifer Brady in Top Seed Open last four in Kentucky

American Coco Gauff missed out on a place in the final of the Top Seed Open in Kentucky after a straight-set defeat by compatriot Jennifer Brady.

Brady, ranked four places higher than her 16-year-old rival at 49, used her big serve and power to good effect to win 6-2 6-4.

The 25-year-old will play Switzerland’s Jil Teichmann in Sunday’s final.

Teichmann, ranked 63 in the world, got the better of Serena Williams’s conqueror Shelby Rogers 6-3 6-2.

Brady came into Saturday’s semi-final having not lost a set and only dropping 11 games in the tournament. (BBC)
