Coco Gauff advanced to the third round of the Miami Open by defeating fellow American Sofia Kenin in straight sets, 6-0, 6-0.
Gauff achieved the victory in 47 minutes, marking her fastest win to date in her career.
“It happened to be a great day for me,” Gauff said.
This was Gauff’s second career shutout.
Gauff is seeking to secure her maiden Miami title.
Gauff successfully won 84 percent of her first serve points.
Gauff was ousted in the round of 16 at Indian Wells last week.
Up next for Coco will be Ashlyn Krueger, who upset seventh seed Elena Rybakina.
There is notable activity in the Men’s Draw. This year’s Miami Open may feature an unexpected storyline, as six of the top 15 men’s seeds were eliminated without securing a match victory. Among Saturday’s winners, unseeded players such as 18-year-old Brazilian talent Joao Fonseca and 20-year-old Coleman Wong from Hong Kong demonstrated promising performances.
