Kartal, who started the week ranked 298th in the world, put up a strong fight, but Gauff prevailed in the opening set to make the match certain. Champion of the U.S. Open Gauff remarked, "I thought I played really well, and she was playing at a high level, especially in the first set," on Court One beneath the covered canopy. She was not letting me settle and wasn't giving me anything to work with. I eventually discovered it, even though I felt like I was aiming for the correct shots but was just missing."
