Gauff closed the match in straight sets, winning the encounter 6-3, 6-1, which saw both players featuring in a major semi-final for the first time.

With this feat, the 18-year-old becomes the youngest Grand Slam finalist since Maria Sharapova won Wimbledon in 2004.

She will be chasing her maiden Grand Slam glory against world number one Iga Swiatek, who earlier in the day put up a dominant show against Russia's Daria Kasatkina. She also closed the match in straight sets and won it 6-2, 6-1.
